Check out this article and video of a rhenium molecule moving around two carbon nanotubes. You can see the two atoms move far apart, when the bond breaks, and then re-bonds back into the molecule. VERY COOL!! This is but another example of incredible electron microscopy techniques that your generation has available, and who knows what remains to be invented and discovered with such instruments. While this is outside the realm of 'basement science,' it never hurts to see what is out there as high school students, so you can have some sense of what awaits you should you pursue STEM in college and beyond!
