Scientists never know when inspiration will strike! For Gabriel Veith @ORNL, it was while he was playing with the gooey substance called oobleck with his kids. Its bizarre properties inspired a technology that can make batteries safer and more efficient:

Scientists observe quantum mechanical properties on very small scales. But John Clarke, Michel Devoret & John M. Martinis showed @BerkeleyLab that these properties could be observed in a system big enough to hold in your hand. They just received the 2025 #Nobel Prize in physics!
