Looking at the weather forecast this weekend, indoor pursuits might be in order? This morning we’re looking at our gorgeously rare conservatory. Surprisingly, it’s a good example of nanotechnology! The ruby stained-glass is the product of Victorian nanotechnologists. They trapped gold nanoparticles in the glass matrix to produce the ruby red colour. Apparently, it is the size of the metal (gold produces red and silver produces yellow) nanoparticles that define the variations in colour. Cool eh? :-D
