Published New method measures the 3D position of individual atoms (via sciencedaily.com) Original source
Since more than a decade it has been possible for physicists to accurately measure the location of individual atoms to a precision of smaller than one thousandth of a millimeter using a special type of microscope. However, this method has so far only provided the x and y coordinates.
