Wooster Students Win National Award in Nanobowl Video Contest

Theoretical FootballWOOSTER, Ohio - The College of Wooster's Physics Club has won the People's Choice Award in the national Nanobowl Video Contest, sponsored by the American Physical Society to coincide with Super Bowl XLII. Unfortunately, they don't have much to show for their efforts.

The award, you see (well, actually, you can't) is a nanoscale trophy created in silicon and metal, which is visible only under super high-magnification scanning probe microscopes. The width of the award is about 1,000 times thinner than a strand of human hair.

Get the picture? Well, maybe not.
