> The possibility of creating a laser through the interaction of light with water waves has not been examined, Carmon said, mainly due to the huge difference between the low frequency of water waves on the surface of a liquid (approximately 1,000 oscillations per second) and the high frequency of light wave oscillations (1014 oscillations per second).
I think that's a typo - unless the light actually has a frequency of 1khz, or I misunderstood the article.
A bad css reset file seems to be the problem. It sets `vertical-align: baseline` on just about everything, including the sub and sup tags. Then never sets sub and sup back to anything reasonable.
The lesson in this: All this incredible markup syntax, rendering engines, and formatting tools, but if you want to be absolutely sure that you data is communicated correctly, better use plaintext.
For whatever reason, their CSS overrides the vertical-align of a large number of elements (possibly all of them?) to "vertical-align: baseline;". Odd, to say the least.
