Earth to Alessandro !

Our first trip into the nanoworld. Through this door we took a peek at it through an Scanning Electron Microscope.

Post Exam

We had an exam today - on Ceramics, Glass, Nanotubes, Metals and Catalysts. This is the aftermath and then we got drunk and sang into the night. It's a hard life ...

Too much studying

Exam on Monday - No sleep till Tuesday

Thanks to Professor Bonollo !

For a great set of lectures on Metals and Alloys
