ScienceDaily (Apr. 3, 2011) A new way of understanding the structure of proteins, polymers, minerals, and engineered materials will be published in the May 2011 issue of the journal Nature Materials.

Because it weighs 200 tons and is fitted with electronically controlled actuators that weight approximately half a tonne each!
