Any of you brilliant fans have anything to say about it?

It's not really new though. I read about it in my HS chemistry book 3 years ago and that book was 2-3 years old.

e946: It's actually something from 1931, but we can now manipulate it with 21st-century tech, apparently. I was going to say RTFA, but it's technically in the TimesOnline article that the planetsave article links to. Still, that's where the planetsave guys got most of their info.

But this is cool. I want to make some.
