This is so cool, thank you. I dabble informally and quite primitively with signal processing, so the idea of vibrational spectrums in a crystalline structure really resonates (hurrr). Now i have a whole new set of mental imagery to process when i pick up the pan with a handle that had the handle a little too close to the flame. Thanks!!

I hate to mess with your physics education but silicone covers for all your metal pan handles is a godsend, even for atheists.
