New paper - using spin-echo SANS to reveal micro structures in nanocomposite materials. This long(est?)-running work made heavy use of the expertise and instruments at @tudelft and @isisneutronmuon. Well done Lassi V. Tiihonen and thanks to @softmatter

A few more words from me on who we are looking for for the EPSRC PhD studentship in energy harvesting
We have an EPSRC-funded PhD studentship available in the School of Physics and Astronomy to explore new materials and techniques for energy harvesting. If you think that is you (& have or will receive 2:1+ in a 4 year course) please get in touch at Michael.Weir@nottingham.ac.uk

This @sixtysymbols video has a really unique style - I love the direct narrative to camera and the demos look great.
Prof Meghan Gray (@emeegray) was in our teaching labs to demonstrate the physics behind an innovative telescope whose reflecting surface is in fact the surface of a spinning vessel of mercury. The liquid's curved form was described in Newton’s Principia!
