An atomic-sized image from IBM labs which is part of an art exhibit at the US Patent and Trademark Museum in Alexandria, Virginia. This image made of 48 iron atoms using Scan Tunnel microscope is features in the 'The Art of Invention' exhibit While experimenting with materials that may form computer chips and storage components in future, scientists have built images with individual atoms such as this stadium-shaped "Quantum Corral' made of iron atoms in order to 'corral' some of the surface electrons and view the ripples that resulted.
