Thread Name: BS: Photographing the electron?
Subject: BS: Photographing the electron?
Is this possible? I just read on the Yahoo news service that scientists have found a way to photograph an electron!!!How can that be??? That's smaller than an atom. I didn't even know we could see a molecule!!
Any science geeks out there who can explain this to me? This seems like a development of great importance.
(Please don't be offended by my affectionate use of the slang tern:geek- I would be a science geek myself if I could only understand it- but I AM an amateur naturalist, and find this quite a fascinating development).
