Atomic-scale detail is now possible with photons, thanks to a cooled-down silver tip and a clever use of plasmonics.

Their measurements with this instrument show a nearly 200 percent reduction in feature size (from 5 to 1.7 nm) ... optical properties are predicted to change at the single-digit nanometer scale.

“The end of the diamond tip is 10 nm in size,” King explained. “Not only can the tip be used for nanometer-scale thermal processing, but it is extremely resistant to wear.” The research findings are ...
