| 3D Holograms Reveal Hidden Molecular Structures Which Could Lead to the Building Blocks of Our Universe Being Revealed
By Brett Tingley via MysteriousUniverse_May 2016 The hidden internal structures of the building blocks of our universe might be closer to becoming known thanks to a recent technological breakthrough. A team of German physicists have discovered a method of bombarding molecules with multiple waves of electrons and then using the resulting data to create full 3D models of internal molecular structures. The technique works by shooting several rounds of electrons at molecules inside specialized electron microscopes. Specialized sensors then analyze the scattering patterns caused by some electrons being reflected away from the internal structures of the molecules being scanned. The collected data can then be processed into a complete 3-dimensional hologram of the molecule's internal and external physical structure. The team behind this discovery have published an article describing their technique, called chemical-sensitive holography, in the journal NanoLetters. Prior to this breakthrough,
