Caption: Brian Saam, a University of Utah physicist, used this NMR spectrometer for a study demonstrating a fundamental new property in the magnetic "spins" of atoms: a system that always has been described by modern quantum physics but that appears to have behavior predicted by chaos theory, which is based on three-century old classical physics.
