Abstract: Graphene: electron micrographs from the edge Electron microscopy has advanced to the stage where individual elements can be identified with atomic resolution. Kazu Suenaga and Masanori Koshino now show that it is possible to obtain fine-structure spectroscopic information on individual light atoms such as carbon, and so also probe their chemical state. They illustrate this capability by investigating the edges of a graphene sample, where they can discriminate between single-, double- and triple-coordinated carbon atoms.
