IBM Scientists Capture First Speed Measurements of Individual Atoms

Today IBM researchers published a breakthrough technique in the peer-reviewed journal Science that measures how long a single atom can hold information, and giving scientists the ability to record, study and "visualize" extremely fast phenomena inside these atoms. The paper is available online here: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/short/329/5999/1628
