A new type of laser that harnesses the energy of
individual atoms reveals how light
interacts with matter
Because all of the
atoms in graphene are at the surface,
individual atoms and any defects in the structure are directly visible in a high resolution electron microscope, but at the same time they easily
interact with the environment.
By creating a magnetic field that
interacts with the nuclear spins of carbon
atoms in the proteins, NMR measures a trait known as chemical shift for some of the
individual atoms in the sample, which reveals how those
atoms are connected.
