Antiprotons annihilating in emulsions and in silicon detectors, December 2012 
After having scanned the developed emulsion under a microscope with depth of field of a few micron and digitized each layer, we can reconstruct the position in 3D of each point on the tracks that the fragments took, and transform this information into a 3D image that can be rotated to see the annihilation event from all angles.

quirinus of neuss


During the siege of the city of Neuss by Burgundian troops in 1474, the citizens had worn a metal emblem of their patron saint, Quirin, on their clothing. Under the saint's protection, they all had remained uninjured, and if one of them was hit by an enemy missile, it quite simply bounced off the emblem, which quite literally shielded them from harm.
