The finding was made using advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM), a technique that can form images with magnifications of up to 10 million.<\/p>\n<p>The research is published in Science Advances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In groundbreaking materials research, a team led by University of Minnesota Professor K.
