I think I know how they did it, Bill. Gin & Tonic. I happen to know that physicists love a good G&T. Which , at the atomic level, is also nothing. But who can stare at spinning Beryllium atoms cold sober? And I know just barely enough about atomic force microscopy to wonder what the hell they're using to image those little spinning things. Something new from Disney-Pixar, no doubt. :-)

Posted by Keri at January 31, 2006 07:49 PMYou would have made a great high school science teacher, you know!
Far superior to the old ex-Marine drill sergeant I had in the 9th grade for general physical science; a man with nine-day-old-floating-minnows-forgotten-in-a-bait-bucket-with-stagnant-lake-water-left-out-in-the-Texas-summer-sun...breath; a man whose personality ranked right up there with a stock tank bullfrog. Need I say I did not care for this teacher?
Sumbitch gave me my first and only "C" in my entire school life.
