Hydrogen
This is the first ever image of the internal structure of a hydrogen atom.

They say that it was done with a newly developed type of quantum entanglement microscope.

Hm-mm?
What's a quantum entanglement microscope?

The Fox article was apparently written by someone who wasn't familiar with physics, and tried to 'translate' a technical paper into popularese. He gets a few things wrong.

The 'photo' itself isn't a photo, but a reconstruction from data gained by manipulating the electron, and doing this many times. It is a statistical artefact, not a 'photo' of one specific atom at one particular point in time.

As such, it is what could have been gained purely by plotting the Schrödinger Equation; but in so far as it is consistent with the Equation, it constitutes experimental confirmation.

At least, that is my understanding. Your comment, Shiva?

Bob
I tend to agree that "photo" might be a push, but it is in-deed an accurate first, that was recently made possible by highly advanced microscopy and creative science..
There were notably more technical papers about the subject available , but I was unable to up-load them into gameknot because of limitations of the gameknot system and also possible infringement rights.

Here's one from New Scientist
