Electron microscopes are capable of resolving details that small.
Here's a side-on view of what they did. You can see the individual gold atoms.

- aledalgrande 3y agoThanks for posting the photos, I don't know why I had this image of perfect square sheet in my mind. Of course it doesn't work like that and they are more like shreds. Very cool to be able to see them.
- robinduckett 3y agoThat side on view is wild and I didn’t know that the resolutions of electron microscopes had gotten that good where you can make out individual atoms. Insane.
- rcxdude 3y agoThey have been that good for a while
