Researchers are first to image directional atomic vibrations Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, together with international collaborators, have developed a new electron microscopy method that has enabled the first-ever imaging of vibrations, or phonons, in specific directions at the atomic scale.

✨Scientists visualized atomic vibrations—phonons—for the FIRST time!🤯 Seeing atoms *move* unlocks new material science frontiers.🔬 #AtomicScale 💫
