IBM video on molecule chemical structure images

September 1, 2009

IBM is claiming images of the chemical structure inside a molecule with unprecedented resolution. Read our news story for the details on how IBM scientists achieved this (IBM claims chemical structure images of a molecule), but also take five minutes and view the below IBM-produced video on the research. The video also discusses a previous experiment by IBM where scientists measured the charge states of atoms and briefly touches on how the two experiments tie into atomic scale.

It goes without saying to EDN’s engineering audience, but such advances could one day bring processors and memory that are faster, smarter, and much smaller in size than anything possible (perhaps even anything plausible) today.

What do you think? Has IBM reached a milestone? Share your comments on the news or video below.

The image appears stable. commented:

Rather than an electron cloud as would be expected the actual shape is displayed. The carbon bonds are evident. These bonds look like double bonds. However, pi bonds that are over the double bonds are the next step. Reactivity is affected by the angle of the molecule. This molecule is stable. However, benzene rings are more reactive and would be a good experiment.
