Postcards from the nanoworld

In this monthly nanotechnology gallery, Rachael Stubbins brings together some of the most picturesque and surprising images of our world as seen on the nanoscale
  • A small molecule compound that was spray dried to enhance its solubility

    Small is beautiful – nanotechnology in pictures

    This month's collection of images from the world of nanotechnology includes a scanning tunnelling microscope, peptide fibres, zinc oxide nanorods and magnesium sulphate crystals – which could lead to advances in medicine

  • Postcard from nanoworld : carbon nanotubes (CNTs)

    Blooming tiny: nano flowers, ferns and gold stars – in pictures

    This month's collection of images from the world of nanotechnology includes the tiniest of flowers, minuscule gold stars, and crystal layers that could replace silicon as the main building blocks of the information age

  • Nanoscale craters

    The weird world of the incredibly small – in pictures

    This month's collection of postcards from the nanoworld includes bleached hair, a component from a quantum computer, a fleck of Victorian paint and one of the creatures that helped build the White Cliffs of Dover
