Say hello to Loughborough University’s DIGILABS🤩

Doctor Who and Batman actor and @lboroalumni, @colinmcfarlane, was awarded an Honorary Doctorate this week! 🤩🎓 Colin, who graduated in 1983, was recognised for his outstanding contributions to the arts and his role in championing men’s health issues.

A tardigrade taking a walk🌊🐻 Captured this 'water bear' - or 'moss piglet' - with help from @lborogeog and @LboroMaterials (LMCC) colleagues. This small friend is around 250 microns long (for scale, the diameter of a human hair is 80 microns).


Delighted to award a #VCGoldAward to the team behind "the world's smallest violin". The work was covered in over 200 media articles across 17 countries. A great example of explaining cutting-edge science in an engaging manner. @lborouniversity lboro.ac.uk/news-events/ne…



Our physicists have created ‘the world’s smallest violin’ using nanotechnology 🎻🔬 It's so small it fits on the width of a human hair and it demonstrates the capabilities of the University’s new nanolithography system. Read➡️ lboro.uk/4mP8vwA

This project has had more than 200 media appearances now 😲🎻 A big thank you to BBC Tech Now who visited campus to interview Prof Morrison and Dr Leo. Watch their coverage ⤵️ bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…


It’s music to our ears that this project has been so well received with 100+ media appearances across national and international outlets 🎶 We’ll share a round-up of articles, broadcasts, and interviews soon 📺📻📰 Who knew a tiny violin could make such a big splash?!🎻

Loughborough Physicists have used cutting-edge nanotechnology to create what they believe is ‘the world’s smallest violin’! 🎻 The violin is small enough to fit on the width of a human hair and demonstrates the capabilities of the University’s new nanolithography system.
