Molecule Photographed

A single molecule, one million times smaller than a grain of sand, pictured for first time.

It may look like a piece of honeycomb, but this lattice-shaped image is the first ever close-up view of a single molecule.

Scientists from IBM used an atomic force microscope (AFM) to reveal the chemical bonds within a molecule.

‘This is the first time that all the atoms in a molecule have been imaged,’ lead researcher Leo Gross said.

And I thought my skin looked bad in HD.
