These images have been chosen for their uniqueness. Subject matter ranges from historic events, to really cool phenomena in science and engineering, to interesting products (which now has its own dedicated Cool Products category), to relevant place, to ingenious contraptions. A zeptoliter pipette was developed by researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory for studying how small volumes of liquid metal freeze at different temperatures than their larger volume counterparts. The 10-21 liter pipettes were made from germanium nanowires with a reservoir of gold-germanium alloy at the tip.4-27-2008 | As if we RF engineers didn't already have a hard enough time shedding the nerd stereotype, the guy at LeapSecond.com had to exacerbate the problem by creating this chess set.
