Simple design: the LEGO microscope (left) and a technical drawing of the instrument. The black eyepiece is at the top, and also visible is the black wheel that is used to adjust the position of the objective lens. (Courtesy: Timo Betz). A fully functional modular microscope has been built using LEGO bricks and low-cost smartphone lenses. Designed by researchers, teachers and schoolchildren in Germany, the instrument is easy to build, yet it can resolve micrometre-sized objects such as individual

Cool heads and clear thinking are mandatory in the competitive world of front-line research as academic leaders strive for that winning – and sustainable – combination of visibility, recognition and impact that will set their physics programmes apart from the rest of the field. The calculus is simple enough: a virtuous circle in which targeted research funding attracts the brightest and best scientific talent, while the brightest and best, in their turn, go on to secure more (and bigger) researc
