Scientists at Warwick University teamed up with reserachers at IBM to image a newly synthesised molecule called olympicene- C19H12

 

 

 

 

The molecule was synthesised by Anish Mistry and David Fox from the University of Warwick. The molecule was then passed on to a team at IBM Research in Zurich who imaged it using a carbon-monoxide tipped atomic force microscopy technique that can show up the structure and bonding in the molecule.
