Have been having many thoughts about what I can do to tie the sciences from each of the beamlines up and provide a link between them and have finally come up with “The Project”.

This will be to look at iron in some of its forms. Iron after all makes up about 5% of the earth’s crust. Not only that, all the experiments I have looked at have involved iron in some form. From the largest meteorites to the tiniest particles in your brain, iron appears on the parchments of antiquity and in the timbers of the Mary Rose, in fact it is everywhere!
