Submonolayer sensitivity, spatial resolutions of 0.02 Å, and time resolutions of less than 1 ps are key features of the latest developments in electron crystallography, a method that allows the determination of the structures of solid surfaces (see picture). The road to this powerful technique and a comparison with complementary structure-determination techniques are discussed.
