EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in scientific history, showcasing the intricate apparatuses designed by Augusto Righi for the optics of electric oscillation. Preserved within the hallowed halls of the University of Bologna, these instruments stand as testaments to Righi's groundbreaking research in physics. The focal point of this image is an oscillator encased in vaseline, emitting a soft glow that hints at its mysterious power. Adjacent to it lies a selenite disc, known for its ability to exhibit double refraction, adding another layer of complexity to Righi's experiments. Completing this ensemble is a resonator, perhaps amplifying and enhancing the oscillations produced by these remarkable devices. Taken during the Exposition of Science History in 1929 Florence, this photograph transports us back to an era where scientific discovery was celebrated with grandeur and awe-inspiring exhibitions. The atmosphere is palpable as visitors marvel at Righi's ingenious creations - their faces reflecting both curiosity and admiration. In this scene filled with wonderment and intellectual pursuit, we witness not only advancements in mathematical and natural sciences but also humanity's unyielding quest for knowledge. These instruments symbolize our collective desire to unravel the mysteries of our universe through meticulous research and experimentation. Captured by Alinari Fratelli from Alinari - renowned photographers known for their ability to immortalize significant moments throughout history - this print serves as a reminder that communication extends beyond words alone. It reminds us that scenes like these can communicate volumes about human ingenuity, perseverance, and our ceaseless drive towards understanding our world better. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us be inspired by those who came before us - scientists like Augusto Righi whose pioneering work continues to shape our understanding of physics today.
