It may look like a piece of honeycomb, but this lattice-shaped image is the first ever close-up view of a single molecule.

Scientists from IBM used an atomic force microscope (AFM) to reveal the chemical bonds within a molecule.

'This is the first time that all the atoms in a molecule have been imaged,' lead researcher Leo Gross said.

Pretty incredible. It's not exactly a clear picture, but it is astonishing just how much it looks like the diagrams you'd find in a chemistry textbook.
