Scientists Reveal The First Images of Atoms ‘Swimming’ in Liquid
The motion of single atoms through liquid has been caught on camera for the first time.Using a sandwich of materials so thin they're effectively two-dimensional, scientists trapped and observed platinum atoms 'swimming' along a surface under different pressures.
The results will help us better understand how the presence of liquid alters the behavior of a solid with which it is in contact – which, in turn, has implications that could in the development of new substances and materials."Given the widespread industrial and…
