I took a trip to the University of Bristol, to have a look inside a nanomaterials lab, and to be surprised at a combination of massively expensive equipment and very basic tools...

Thanks to the Bristol Centre for Functional Nanomaterials and the Chemical Imaging Facility at the University of Bristol -- and to Kate Oliver and Andy Collins! http://www.bcfn.bris.ac.uk/

Also thanks to Michelle Martin (@mrsmmartin) for a wonderful editing job with some tough material -- and to Tom Morris (@tommorris) for camera work on the day!

Thanks to all the team at Bristol University! The equipment used was purchased under EPSRC Grant "Atoms to Applications", Grant ref. EP/K035746/1.
