Well, first I was thinking of financial bonds, but couldn't figure out why they would be called "atomic" or why you would want to take a picture of them.
Maybe some kind of new bond cooked up by 0bama, Bernanke and Geithner? That would blow up for sure.

Does that mean photons are smaller than atoms since we can now “photograph” atoms... or is this some new science to take pictures of atoms? Someone explain to us who have been out of the science loop for years.

How can you take a picture of a “bond”? Isn’t that like taking a picture of “gravity” or “love”?

Pentacene has potential use as an organic semiconductor, which is probably why IBM is studying it so closely.
