Wondering About

Stimulating scientific curiosity is one aim of questions posed at the "Did You Ever Wonder . . . ?" Web page, produced by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Sample questions: How would you rebuild the surface of a cell? How can you carve with light? Why do the digits of the number pi look random? Answers to the questions, colorfully illustrated and presented in language accessible to students and nonspecialists, highlight research performed at the lab. Links lead to sites with more detailed information.
