Gold (111) surface, imaged using our low-energy electron microscope. The gold surface featured small “hills” that, in false-color rendering, resemble tiny spring flowers.

Colorized STEM image depicting a micropore covered by MoS2 layers transitioning from single-layered (blue) to multi-layered (red) material. Pores created through ion irradiation can be seen as black dots within the single and double layered regions.
