Title
Topographic map of gold surface at 1-angstrom resolution
Description
Topographic map of a gold surface at one-angstrom resolution, showing atoms as small protrusions. Map (below) of the same surface, showing the drag force of friction as the bidirectional AFM tip rocks over the gold atoms. Lightened areas reveal high friction; darker areass show low frictional drag.
