Location of 23,000 single atoms seen for first time
Highlights
Scientists have for the first time seen the exact locations of more than 23,000 atoms in a particle that is small enough to fit inside the wall of a single cell.
Los Angeles: Scientists have for the first time seen the exact locations of more than 23,000 atoms in a particle that is small enough to fit inside the wall of a single cell.
Researchers led by University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in the US used a scanning electron microscope to examine a particle that was made of iron (Fe) and platinum (Pt) and only 8.4 nanometres across.
"At the nanoscale, every atom counts," Michael Farle, a physicist at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany. Getting such an accurate picture may help materials scientists in future to create nanometre-size structures for applications such as hard drives.
