Atoms may not have bones, but we still want to know how they are put together.
These tiny particles are the basis on which all normal matter is built , and understanding them helps us understand the larger Universe.
And there are several techniques for chucking X-rays at stuff to see how it's put together on really tiny scales., in which X-rays are accelerated to high energies so they shine much more brightly. Together, the two techniques are known as synchrotron X-ray scanning tunneling microscopy . The amplified X-radiation excites the sample, and the needle-like detector collects the resulting photoelectrons. And it's an exciting technique that opens up some pretty incredible possibilities: Last year, the team published a paper on using SX-STM toThis time, they went smaller still, attempting to measure the properties of a single iron atom.
