A research team at the University of Washington and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory examined the atomic composition of enamel samples from two human teeth. To examine the atomic composition of enamel, Jack Grimm (foreground) worked with Arun Devaraj, a materials scientist at PNNL (background), to use a technique called "atom probe tomography," which allows researchers to get a 3D map of each atom in space in a sample.
