One of our readers linked to this, and it was too good not to share.
A ten-year-old girl randomly arranged some oxygen, carbon and nitrogen atoms. In the process, she discovered a new molecule, one that has the ability to store and release energy in ways they haven't fully explored. The girl, Clara Lazen, has been credited in the paper on the discovery. The school is in Kansas City, Missouri.
This is what makes science so exciting. Anyone who works hard can wow the entire world. Some of our most amazing discoveries have come from the well studied, polished minds of disciplined science. Others come from accidents or random observations that reveal something new. Clara has accomplished the latter, let us hope she pursues science so she can continue to surprise us.
