The rally monkey came to national and world-wide attention during the Angels' appearance in the 2002 World Series, again against the San Francisco Giants. In the sixth game, the Angels were playing at home, but were trailing the series 3-2 and facing elimination.
Meet PG5, the largest stable synthetic molecule ever made. With a diameter of 10 nanometres and a mass equal to 200 million hydrogen atoms, this huge molecule festooned with tree-like appendages, paves the way to sophisticated structures capable of storing drugs within their folds, or bonding to a wide variety of different substances.
Also in 1953, Crick and an American scientist named James Watson made what was probably the biggest discovery of their careers, which was the structure of the DNA molecule. This effort led both men (along with Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin) to the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962.
