In the lead-up to the Nobel Prize award ceremony 2011, physics laureate Adam Riess had cufflinks made for himself and the 18 members of his research team.
The cufflinks have a formula, “q0<0”, engraved on them. The meaning of the formula is that our universe is expanding at an ever-increasing rate. This was the discovery that Riess and his co-laureates were awarded the physics prize for.
Riess commissioned the cufflinks seen here before ordering a pair for each researcher. He donated the prototypes to the Nobel Prize Museum 2011. - Pristagare
