Photograph of the tip of a very sharp tungsten needle.

How sharp? The needle is about 30 atoms wide. You can count them.

I am seriously freaked out right now.

They got atoms to hold still for an entire second? Wow.

Wow, just wow, but:

The lighter colored elongated features are traces captured as atoms moved during the imaging process (approximately 1 second)

Naw.... Angels dancing.

Wow! What a treat. Amazing. Makes me look forward to starting organic chem in a couple weeks--and that's something!
