Special Story

On October 19th 2005, the picture below was printed on the third page of a chinese daily newspaper called "21st Century". Nobody knows how they got it and why they printed it. A friendly student working in China found it and sent an exemplar of the newspaper to Steffen. It can be marvelled at in our lab :)
