Dynamic hetero-metallic bondings visualized by sequential atom imaging

The dynamic assembly and disassembly of atoms and molecules is challenging to characterize in real time, with atomic resolution and elemental identification. Here, the authors report direct observation of more than twenty homo and hetero-metallic compounds, including labile Ag-Cu dimers and Au-Ag-Cu...
