This episode explores how researchers used quantum tunneling to overcome the diffraction limit, achieving atomic-scale imaging at 0.1 nm. By combining a metal tip with continuous-wave lasers, they tracked electron motion between surfaces, opening a new window into matter at its most fundamental scale.<br /><br />This episode includes AI-generated content.
