The detailed chemical structure of a single molecule has been imaged for the first time, say researchers. The physical shape of single carbon nanotubes has been outlined before, using similar techniques - but the new method even shows up chemical bonds.

Fantastic. Having taken many semesters of organic and biochemical classes you always ask “How do you really know what they look like”. But here it is, exactly as I have been taught.Bad news.
It's PhotoShopped.

the invisib1e hand ~
Each of the 5 hexagons is a ring of 6 carbon atoms (some shared between rings). A hydrogen atom is attached at each of the external points - 4 on each end ring and 2 on each internal ring. KarlInOhio ~ So you say, but can you prove it?
Who ya gonna believe? Him or your own lyin' eyes???

Yep we all just evolved that way!

How can you tell and what did they do to it?

Almost like they had a ....designer.

Also, one is tempted to ask if the molecules are smaller than the waves of light that are used to photograph them, because that would make it impossible to see them. The image wasn't created using light, or any form of photons.
Look up Atomic Force Microscopy.

How can you tell and what did they do to it?Well, first of all, it's in black and white. Look around you, there's colors! If this was real, you'd see colors!
Secondly, it's really fuzzy, like every UFO photoshop I have ever seen.
And third: Because I, personally, perpetrated this fraud.

They cooled it to just above absolute zero.

Yeah. Hilarious. I’m avoiding Zeiss products as much as possible from now on.

Yes, might even bring me out of retirement.

Gee ...
And I’m supposed to be impressed by a photo “that” fuzzy?
(Least they could do would be to focus the camera BEFORE they shot the picture .......)

You can only cool pigs to just above absolute zero.
Molecules are impossible to cool.
I know sciencez. I lurned me a book.
