Yes, science  icons in tango-style would be great! I've been thinking of 
doing some tangofication of the nice kde-edu icons David did in 
nuova-style a while ago (the chemistry one for example could be a good 
base for a icon). Check Davids icons out at http://icon-king.com/?p=14
Perhaps these should go into hicolor and be app-specific in order to 
keep tangerine clean.
