We report nano-scale mechanical heterogeneity of a metallic glasscharacterized by dynamic atomic force microscopy. Apparent energy dissipationwith the variation of ~12%, originating from non-uniform distribution of localviscoelasticity, was characterized. The correlation length of heterogeneousviscoelasticity was measured to be ~2.5{\pm}0.3 nm, which is well consistentwith the dimension of shear transformation zones for plastic flow. This studyprovides the first experimental observation on the nano-scale mechanicalheterogeneity in a metallic glass, and may fill the gap between atomic modelsand the macroscopic properties of metallic glasses.
