Here They Are, Science's 10 Most Beautiful Experiments
Topic: Physics 7:43 pm EDT, Sep 24, 2002

Ultimately, science comes down to the individual mind grappling with something mysterious.

Physics World magazine recently asked physicists to nominate the most beautiful experiment of all time. The 10 winners were largely solo performances, involving at most a few assistants.

What they have in common is that they epitomize the elusive quality scientists call beauty. This is beauty in the classical sense; confusion and ambiguity are momentarily swept aside, and something new about nature becomes clear.

Here They Are, Science's 10 Most Beautiful Experiments

"Light can be turned into a glowing stream of liquid that splits into droplets and splatters off surfaces just like water. The researchers who've worked out how to do this say "liquid light" would be the ideal lifeblood for optical computing, where chips send light around optical "circuits" to process data. "

so cool
