Not only have we (rather, IBM) imaged a single pentacene molecule (see below), but now we (ok, ok, Kharkov Institute for Physics and Technology) have imaged electron orbitals…

Wow

Who would have thought that the illustrations from high school chem class would actually turn out to be more or less accurate (not to mention the theoretical implications)…

The theoretical version…

The IBM pentacene image…

… and the theoretical version.

The things we can do.
