Happy New Year everyone!
(Here's a private video from my holiday in case you're interested)
I'll try to find some time later for bloggy reflection on 2011 - but for now it's back to real work.
To start 2012 here are two videos from the STFC's amazing ISIS facility in Oxfordshire, where beams on neutrons are used to probe the world at the tiniest levels.
The films are all about using the beams to explore things at the comparatively large nano scale!!!
So large that the team doing the work is called the Large Scale Structures Group.
The videos are part of my Backstage Science project for the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC).

Backstage in Engin-X
I've posted the first Backstage Science video in a little while.
The project's main production period has ended for now, but I'm still putting together more films from all the footage.
There's still some really good ones to come.
The latest was inside an instrument called Engin-X - one of the many "hutches" at the end of "beam lines" at the ISIS neutron source.
Engin-X has more of an emphasis on engineering, so often it is probing things like the strength of metals, etc.
It also means sometimes the samples can be quite big (like plane wings).
For this reason, Engin-X is quite a big instrument.
