Did you spot our topological insulators and InN particles? 🔎🔎
The CDT-ACM is @newscilive today for schools day! We have lots of activities demonstrating materials characterisation, including a VR crystallography explorer, AFM crayon rubbings🖍️🎨 and an AFM mystery box game (supported by our friends at @NameProgramme) 😀😀
