Scientists took a picture of a molecule the other day, which is cool and not just because they had to drop the temperature to minus 268° Celsius to do it (Absolute zero, the coldest temperature possible and the point at which entropy is also zero, is minus 273.15° C). As the story shows, the actual picture of the molecule closely resembles the diagrams many of us had to learn how to do in chemistry class.
This is also a picture of something one-millionth the size of a grain of sand and the technical details of how they did it warm my geeky little heart.
Plus, we now have an actual visual representation of the movie-making talent of Rob Zombie, discussed in yesterday's post.
