To catch 'swimming' platinum atoms, materials scientists made a graphene sandwich.

Once it was in the liquid graphene, the solid platinum moved quickly. The team tested the same reaction with a vacuum in place of the graphene cell. They saw that the platinum atoms didn’t react as naturally in the traditional setup.After recreating the motion in liquid more than 70,000 times, the team deemed their methods successful. They published their work in theThe results could make waves for a few different reasons.

One, it “paves the way” for transmission electron microscopes to be used widely to study “chemical processes with single-atom precision,” the scientists wrote in the paper.
