Question - 177

Today's question is courtesy Swapnaa. Identify all the visuals and the common thread that connects them.

Answer: The visuals show all Nobel laureates who did their major work at Bell labs. Clockwise from the top left, they are Davisson-Germer, Bardeen-Brattain-Shockley, Phil Anderson, Steven Chu, Stormer-Laughlin-Tsui and Penzias-Wilson. Manix, Hirak and Rajesh got it. Well done.

I've been hanging out with Shiva and Manickam for too long, so I couldn't resist this answer (although its my own question)... they are the only Nobell laureates *sheepish grin*

Why do you choose Siva and I to blame for your ridiculous Swapuns?
