New technique enables atomically resolved imaging of surfaces in ambient conditions.
Scientists at the University of Regensburg in Germany) have created atomically resolved images of a salt crystal that was prepared in ambient conditions by cleaving. Until recently, samples had to be prepared in complex vacuum chambers or in controlled liquid environments to allow for atomically resolved imaging.
Daniel Wastl and colleagues report their breakthrough in the US science journal "Physical Review B”, 87 245415 (2013).

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
