They built a chain of tellurium instead of a cube or a sheet of it and cut it using a new very accurate technique to be 1 atom wide chain. They verified the endpoints are cut cleanly with radio image microscopy I think.

Once again, that's over my head. I appreciate you adding context. Thanks! I have slightly more understanding of what this means.
