They’re a cool and easy way to demonstrate certain waves, with a bit of cleanup afterward. This week, we’re serving up some sound science on a “Chladni plate.” * Ernst Chladni was a very important ...

(CBS News) For our final lesson on a day focused on all things (kind of, sort of) educational, we have the latest from a man who has managed to make us ponder a few times in the past if there might be ...
