Abstract

It is no accident that the start of the 21st century has seen significant growth in the field of nanotechnology across all the sciences. The nanoscale is the realm of the molecule, where physics, chemistry and biology meet, and where the potential for engineering control of structures containing tens to thousands of atoms is just beginning to be realised. Myriad examples of nanotechnology's existing and potential impact range from the creation of new designer drugs, through the development of hydrogen storage materials, to state-of-the-art silicon technology. This is the science that underpins the rationale for the construction of the near and intermediate range order diffractometer, Nimrod, on the ISIS second target station.
