Obtaining 3D Structures at Atomic Resolution in a Liquid

Caption

The schematic shows a liquid sample contained between two sheets of graphene -- the thinnest, strongest material known. Nanoparticles in the liquid freely rotate while a transmission electron microscope takes thousands of images of the nanoparticles. The images are then analyzed by the authors' software to determine the location of every atom in each nanoparticle
