The Material Resources blog is no longer being updated! However, you can follow me on Twitter, drop in to my Posterous where I occasionally post things and of course check out IOM3's superb new website (which I manage) at www.iom3.org On the latter you'll find dozens of new articles every month by materials, minerals and mining professionals, as well as a host of other essential information on IOM3 services and communities, and improved features including forums and content alerts. Look forward to seeing you there!

Best wishes

A very small Christmas greeting!


The University of Leeds has put nanotechnology to seasonal use with this very small Christmas card - to be precise, the main image (an engraving onto a tiny piece of platinum) is no larger than a red blood cell. Sarah Pearman's design, which won a University competition, was turned into the nano version by John Harrington from Leeds's Institute for Materials Research using a state-of-the-art focused ion beam (FIB) machine.
Material Resources wishes all readers a very BIG merry Christmas and best wishes for 2008.
