This week, a group from the AMOLF institute (Netherlands) managed to find a technique to image the electrons whizzing around in the orbitals of a
single atom.
However, for years I have been captivated by an image of a single atom in my physics book (Ohanian, 'physics'. 2nd edition I think). All I could find
that it was produced using electron holography. It also showed the suggestion of electronic structure.
Anyone remember that image as well? I never was able to track the origin of it down. neptunium - 13-6-2013 at 08:15
i remember when the first tunnel microscope could pick up individual gold atoms and rearrange them in the shape
of a logo or a stick figure..
