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).

A tiny advertisement
They say imitation is the highest form of flattery....
You may recall late last year we made two videos about very small writing.
In one of them, we etched the world's smallest periodic table onto a human hair.
(and not just any hair - it was one of Professor Poliakoff's frizzy strands!)
Well after that, a big advertising agency got in touch with us.
Seems we had inspired them to write an advertisement on a whisker!?
And they even came over from France to make it on the very same electron microscope we used for our periodic table.
Here's their video about the making of the ad.
