A New Close-Up View of Electrons Inside Semiconductors

Two side-by-side microscopic thermal-style maps showing bright yellow, orange, and purple glowing nodes connected by network-like filaments against a black background. Each image includes a white scale bar labeled "20 nm" in the bottom right. The left image contains tiny red flower-like markers scattered throughout, while the right image contains small yellow star icons in similar positions.
