IBM Researchers Image Electrical Charge Distribution In a Single Molecule
alphadogg writes with this selection from Network World:"IBM researchers for the first time have succeeded in imaging how charge is distributed inside a single molecule, which is a fundamental research breakthrough as scientists try to miniaturize circuitry to the nanometer scale. IBM is studying molecular structures when put on artificial surfaces so functional molecules in the future can be used as switches or transistors, said Fabian Mohn, an IBM researcher. IBM used advanced microscopy tools and techniques to image how charge is redistributed and arranged when chemical bonds are formed between atoms and molecules on surfaces."
And once again, there is no picture in the article. Why post a story about the creation of an imaging technique without pics.
tl;dr pics or it didn't happen.

Is it only a recurring signal to motivate the shareholders, or is it intended to produce some tangible applications in a not-so-far future?
