BIG question: Where will the nanoscience revolution take us? The Australian Synchrotron, is one place where in conjunction with the University of Adelaide, science is probing this question of many hidden corners of nature.

Sychrotron light is a very, very large & powerful torch that can reveal the innermost, sub-microscopic secrets of material from human tissue and plant genomes to minerals exploration & forensic science.
