This is a "gallery" put together by some folks at IBM who do research using a device called a Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) to obtain images of structures at the size scale of single atoms and molecules. They can also use the device to manipulate individual atoms to create silly structures like "carbon monoxide man:"
Lots of interesting things to think about here, but not the least is the choices made in how these images are colored and displayed. Thoughts?
