Why are electrons doomed to remain forever separated from their beloved protons? | Science News | Scoop.it
We all know the story. Electrons and protons are attracted to each other. That's why a balloon rubbed on hair clings to clothes. The electrons it gained are crying out for protons and dragging the rest of the balloon along with them.

[VIDEO - ANIMATION] Mathematics ... says ''Hi'' to you

A formula referenced by several web pages generates an interesting surface:

f(x,y) = exp(-x^2-0.5y^2)cos(4x)+exp(-3(x+0.5)^2-1.5y^2)

 We can clearly see that Mathematics says "Hi" to us with a somewhat terrifying, but beautiful formula.
