I popped a few of the mocha-flavored pellets late one night, and after about five to 10 minutes, I was up eyeing the door instead of my bed. Price: $14.95 for a 90-ball bottle...
What makes things trickier still is that not all attraction is equal. Some materials are drawn much more powerfully together than others - particularly on the nano (billionth of a meter) scale.

Gold and glass get along well enough and under the right circumstances will attract. But what they both like a whole lot more is a liquid called bromobenzene. When the researchers introduced a little bromobenzene to the other two materials, they both began...

Afterward, worked as a Republican legislative aide in the Senate and eventually became head of the U.S. Office for Civil Rights, where he was in charge of enforcing equal education laws under President Richard Nixon. After Panetta vigorously worked to desegregate Southern schools, to the chagrin of Nixon administration officials such as Vice President Spiro Agnew, he was forced to resign from the post...
