“Ever wanted to catch a snowflake and keep it forever? You can. This is a photograph of a snowflake that fell in January 1979, but it isn?t a 27-year-old photo. It is a recent shot of a snowflake that?s been sitting in chemist Tryggvi Emilsson?s desk for 27 years, locked in a drop of that miracle of modern chemistry we call superglue. The ‘super’ in the thin, runny adhesive, which was invented during World War II, is the small molecules in it called cyanoacrylate monomers that penetrate and interlock with the microscopic forms of anything they touch.”
