This is one of the most remarkable stories I’ve read in some time, a story of an inventor with a good idea and the stubborn patience of Thomas Edison. The initial result, and the one with which the entrepreneur was obsessed, is a colored soap bubble. And yet — as Popular Science explains — the implications of the chemistry may be far-reaching.

It’s a tale as inspirational as it is geeky.

I got it from Nashville Is Talking, which got it from Yewknee.
