Just in time for Valentine’s Day, scientists at Birmingham University’s Nanoscale Physics Research Lab have produced a picture of the world’s smallest Valentine heart–palladium atoms clustered together, only 8 nanometers wide. The palladium atoms spontaneously clustered together in this arrangement when placed on a special carbon base. The heart had to be viewed through a powerful electron microscope.
