"Dead Simple" A Review By Kandace Cook

The article "Dead Simple" Way to See Atomic Structure, is an article regarding a new study that has proven to show that there are new techniques that allow researchers to observe structures of molecules. In order to obtain this information researchers are taking and obtaining the first direct images of how water coats surfaces. These images potentially allow thousands of molecules, to be viewed and researched. This articles states from the words of James Heath, a professor at the California Institute of Technology, that almost all surfaces have a coating of water on them, and that water dominates interfacial properties. The idea behind this conclusion is that although water molecules may cover many surfaces they are nearly impossible to measure because of their flexibility and inability to stay still.
Throughout this article the pragmatic situation occurring was having the ability to capture and observe molecules on a molecular level. Well by total accident Heath, and other colleagues discovered that graphene sheets were "atomically conformal." With this single accomplishment professors and scientists, for the first time ever were able to view the detailed atomic structure of water molecules. And with that a new discovery was made and has caused many supporting details to be the base of new innovations that are to come in our ever changing world. With these ever changing discoveries it is hard to tell where scientific changes may occur, but one thing is for sure, only time can tell on where these discoveries will take us.
