The first photograph of a molecule in a chemical reaction

US scientists have for the first time photographed molecular images in a chemical reaction.

Using an atomic force microscope, scientists at the University of California at Berkeley Lab captured the first high-resolution photos of the breakdown and structural change of a molecule. chemistry.

These scientists have obtained precious photographs from a very random chance when they are conducting chemical experiments with graphene metaphor. However, their findings went in a completely different direction.

"We did not think about creating beautiful images, and the new experiments themselves were the main goal," said Felix Fisher, a Berkeley Lab scientist.

These images, according to scientists, would be of great help in studying the nanostructures, perhaps even creating a new way of electron nanostructures.

'Larger findings are still ahead , ' Fischer said.
