Water Article Review

http://www.futurity.org/science-technology/dead-simple-way-to-see-atomic-structure/
Well this was pretty confusing the first time I read it but the second time it made sense.  The main point of the article was that theyy have found a way to see waters atomic structure.  Graphene was placed on the surface and island like structures popped up which was water.  They relized that the graphene sheets hugged the water molecules so tightly that it revealed their delicate atomic structure.  With this technique the researchers revealed new details on how water covers surfaces since water is every where.  To do this technique you must preform it on a flat suface or else you will have imperfections.  Scientists are trying to further the resolution of this technique so they could study anti-bodies and other protiens.  This is what I learned from the review article.
