Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a technique that should, in theory, facilitate direct imaging and chemical identification of each and every atom in a material that has an unspecified three-dimensional structure. This is especially true given the recent introduction of aberration-corrected optics. Until recently, however, neither TEM nor any other method has proved up to the task in nonperiodic materials. Now, however, a group of researchers has devised a technique for imaging and identifying atoms in almost any solid or molecule. The team recently used its creation to resolve...Read full article
