QR – Cure – Quizzing Realms – 163

Easy!

Frog_diamagnetic_levitation

Connect the image above to Question 153 of this blog!

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

PS: Take another look at my opinion blog. It has a new, albeit lengthy post. And please let the comments flow!

******************

Just two answers! Both correct, btw…

The connect is Andre Geim, one of the scientists who won this years Nobel Prize in Physics for graphene. Graphene is the answer to Question 153. On the other hand, he had already won the Ig-Nobel Prize in 2000 for being able to magnetically suspend a live frog in mid-air. That is the photograph shown here!

    Andre Geim, who got the Nobel Prize in Physics this year also got the Ig Nobel Prize in Physics for magnetically levitating a frog as shown.
