Atoms Really Do Exist – Seeing Dancing Atoms in Nanocrystals We will use a powerful electron microscope to show students real atoms in nanocrystals. The students will get to see real time movies of atoms in nanoparticles. The atoms are often moving and will appear to dance. They will also get to see and understand what a modern electron microscopes can do and how it can lead to development of new technologies.
