Researchers are pushing the limits of electron microscopy into the tens of picometer scale, a fraction of the size of a hydrogen atom. The ability to see at this subatomic level is crucial in designing new materials with unprecedented properties, such as materials that transition from metals to semiconductors or that exhibit superconductivity.

Scientists can now directly probe a previously hard-to-see layer of chemistry thanks to a unique X-ray toolkit. The X-ray tools and techniques could be extended, researchers say, to provide new insight about battery performance and corrosion, a wide range of chemical reactions, and even biological and environmental processes that rely on similar chemistry.

When it comes to trying to model the properties and behavior of systems of atoms, scientists use two fundamentally different pictures of reality, one of which is called 'statistical' and the other 'dynamical'. The two approaches have at times been at odds, but scientists announced a way to reconcile the two pictures.
