4D Electron Microscopy Making it Possible to Image Photons of Nanoscale Structures and Visualize Their Architecture

Techniques recently invented by researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech)-which allow the real-time, real-space visualization of fleeting changes in the structure of nanoscale matter-have been used to image the evanescent electrical fields produced by the interaction of electrons and photons, and to track changes in atomic-scale structures.
