Am I ever glad I trawl through the comments late at night for interesting things to see!

The hole was created for the purpose of observing the atoms rearranging.. The link in the video description goes to the article. I'm positively floored.
In reply to this comment by arvana:
You're right -- that is insanely cool! It boggles the mind that they even managed to find a single flake of graphene with a hole in it, let alone make a movie of it.

Thanks! Saves me having to beg another time
Also, I don't know if you've seen my coolest science post of IMO forever:

congrats again on the 100.
Here is a scratchy something. I'm not altogether pleased with it, but maybe you'll like! Dead mermaids are, as it turns out, rather interesting to scrawl though, so maybe I'll give it a more thoroughly thought out try!

Wow, thats so bizzare and really quite insulting. Copyright laws are getting insane. (as if they weren't before, but I didn't think they could get worse.)
It seems absolutely ridiculous to me that they wouldn't allow you to bring a Sketchbook to an Art Gallery
In reply to this comment by LooiXIV:
>> ^Fade:
I can walk into any art gallery this very minute, take a picture of any of the many works of art walk out and print out pretty reasonable copies of the work. I'm clearly not committing theft since the original stays where it is.
nothing against your argument but I just want to say that there are a lot art galleries who do not allow people to take any sort of picture. Including hand draw copies. I was in the Philadelphia museum of art and they wouldn't let me carry in a sketch book to this one exhibit because of potential "copyright infringement", stupidest thing ever I couldn't sketch my own interpretation of art. haha I really don't know what to make of such a situation...

Definitely! Many good photos in that search. Philosophers always get the best pictures of themselves.

Thanks much for the help!
That is a great photograph! I'm sorry for asking, but do you know if there is a larger version posted anywhere I could sneak onto my reference pile?

That's really tragic
Not sure what the pilot was thinking hovering it around all those trees/suburbia junk.
I wonder if he died of a hospital infection..
