Modern understanding of chemistry has come from measurements that average over the properties of many different molecules at the same time. While this approach has been critical to the advancement of science, it is limited because the measurement process itself blurs many interesting and important effects out. Recently, researchers have demonstrated the ability to measure individual molecules through extremely sensitive microscopy, allowing matter to be studied one molecule at a time. These measurements are of profound importance because they allow scientists to study matter at the most fundamental level possible.

对化学的现代理解来自于同时对许多不同分子的性质进行平均测量。虽然这种方法对科学的进步至关重要，但它是有限的，因为测量过程本身模糊了许多有趣和重要的影响。最近，研究人员展示了通过极其灵敏的显微镜测量单个分子的能力，使人们能够一次研究一个分子。这些测量具有深远的重要性，因为它们使科学家能够尽可能地在最基本的水平上研究物质。
