“This image shows cobalt atoms that have been arranged into an ellipse with the help of a Scanning Tunneling Microscope. The ring is some 5,000 times smaller than a human hair. When a single atom is placed at one of the two focus points of the elliptical ring, some of its properties suddenly appear at the other focus, where no atom exists. This effect is called “Quantum Mirage”. It can only be explained using quantum theory.”

Yes, that's a silly title, and no, it doesn't mean too much, besides a hint that this blog of mine doesn't have a strict theme. Things that I obsess over include but are not limited to: synthetic/systems biology, urban planning and economics, politics, web technology and publishing, craft beer, and bicycles. My curiosity is probably both my biggest asset and my biggest liability. So! You can also find me on twitter as @candometa, on facebook, and last.fm.
