For my class, we have been asked to give a 20-25 minute talk on a recent paper
in any scientific literature that has used calculus of variations. Because this is a very
broad topic, I have not been able to think of any way in starting to find a paper of interest,
so I thought I'd post on this message board asking people about any papers or topics,
in the field of calculus of variations, that interest them.

See for example, "The Science of Soap Films and Soap Bubbles"
(Paperback) by Cyril Isenberg ; Look for Zero mean curvature and
Goldschmitt conditions in it.Also, "Soap Bubbles" (Dover Science Books)
by C.V. Boys. Also,read old Chelsea publication of this title.
