something like Class.forName(''...").newInstance in Java?

hello all,
I'm looking for something like Class.forName(''...").newInstance in Java?,
I mean, where the className is passed in as a String,
do ruby have similiar construct like that?
Thank you very much.

Facets' constant() method is sometimes easier.
