When I was there it was heavily involved in particle physics, and was always building some bloody stupidly expensive neutron detector or somesuch to bolt onto the synchrotron at CERN. When I saw this object it REALLY reminded me of one of those detector arrays. It's actually the somewhat more humble motor out of one of the vacuum cleaners, and at £45 it was a big lump cheaper as well! I fitted it tonight (the old one came out in five pieces - eek!) and all seems well so far. :) Many of you will know that I studied Physics at Liverpool, but not many of you may know that it has an incredibly active research programme.
