Capturing the surprising flexibility of crystal surfaces

Images taken using an atomic force microscope have allowed researchers to observe, for the first time, the flexible and dynamic changes that occur on the surfaces of ‘porous coordination polymer’ crystals when guest molecules are introduced. The findings have implications for investigations into materials that can be used for storing and sensing molecules.
