Sorry Ron, i may be missing the mark as a newbie compared to you and many others on this forum, but i'm not sure why you have used the word 'propaganda' here?
It seems to be a breakthrough picture of a single molecule presented by the BBC but the word 'Propaganda' implies its not as it seems? Sorry if i dont get the joke???

Actually, ignore me..i've just paid more attention to the word propaganda than your title of 'Stunning Image'..apologies Ron.

Mick,

Ron is using the term "propaganda" in a sarcastic manner.

There's a user on here called Enchilada who always pounces on Ron for posting links from the BBC. Enchilada considers the BBC a source of propaganda.

Humayun,

Thanks for that..

Sorry Ron! There is no apologie smilie on the list so you will have to have this.

Cheers,
Mick

That's alright, Ron, I'm going to go there and have a proper "ganda"

A wonderful example of the power of Quantum Mechanics in Chemistry.

The angle of the C-C bonds and the overall shape of the molecule as predicted through Quantum Mechanics.

Thanks Ron.

Amazing! Science is fast becoming more fantastic than imagination can conjure.

And one thing we're not short of is carbon monoxide.

Another example of why the money spent on research lets IBM register more patents every year than any other company.
