English term or phrase: some snazzy experiments...
I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from American English into Latin American Spanish.

Colleagues from Spain, feel free to send me your suggestions as well. This is a translation about sociology. Is okay to translate it as através de unos experimentos vistosos?

Here is the full paragraph for your review:

We’re talking 18-hour-days shivering on a research station roof in -40 degree temps to measure concentrations of chlorine in the air. Through some snazzy experiments and smart thinking, she discovered that the problem was CFCs, chlorofluorocarbons, the stuff in aerosol spray cans and some refrigerators. If we just banned the junk, the ozone hole would close, she posited.

Explanation:
Gracias a algunos experimentos elegantes,y a una reflexión inteligente, descubrió que el problema eran los CFC, los clorofluorocarbonos, el material que contienen los aerosoles y algunos frigoríficos. Si prohibiéramos esa basura, el agujero de la capa de ozono se cerraría, afirmó.
