Thank you to the School of Medicine for letting us drop eggs over the balcony all morning!
These kids had a blast engineering contraptions to protect their raw eggs in Operation Egg Drop. Power Science and Science Navigators will solve a lot of the world's problems!

They used a single silver atom as the toggle for an in-line digital switch for optical signals.

A slot waveguide, consisting of a silver electrode (gray), tapered to a point, separated from a platinum electrode (green) by a 20-nm gap, allows 1.55-μm light in the waveguide to be converted into subwavelength surface plasmons that can pass through the gap. Applying a voltage differential between…
