Scientists tracked an atom's nuclear spin in real time with a tunneling microscope, finding it stable for seconds, opening paths to better magnetic control. (Nanowerk News) Researchers from Delft ...

Atomic-scale imaging emerged in the mid-1950s and has been advancing rapidly ever since—so much so, that back in 2008, physicists successfully used an electron microscope to image a single hydrogen ...

I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single atom? Not in a mystical sense, but in the very real way that one tiny system ...
