I cannot conceive, under the best circumstances ... That's because moving and studying atoms with a scanning tunneling microscope and its offshoot, the atomic-force microscope, is a far cry ...

Scientists have discovered a brand-new material with a unique atomic structure—something they weren’t even looking for. While ...

Physicists have used a novel technique to observe individual atoms interacting in free space for the first time ever. The new technique confirms a century-old quantum mechanical theory.

Before long, Ward was helping build the components of microscope cameras and detectors, and was dazzled by what they could do. “I began to see molecules and atoms,” said Ward, now 46.
