Charles Townes, architect of laser technology, was "warned not to waste resources on an obscure technique." The new Golden Goose award goes to scientists whose initially "silly-sounding" research wound up changing the world. Great op-ed in the Washington Post this morning.

Growing up in Turkey, Ali Erdemir and Osman Eryilmaz would sometimes play with the borax deposits near the mountains by their homes — but only later would they discover that borax would underlie one of their crowning achievements as scientists.

It's twins!...nanoparticles. And these unusual "twinned" nanowires turn out to have odd pentagonal symmetry: http://1.usa.gov/MW7QpU
Sterling science: Strain in silver nanoparticles creates unusual “twinning”

When twins are forced to share, it can put a significant strain on their relationship. While this observation is perhaps unsurprising in the behavior of children, it is less obvious when it comes to nanoparticles.
