By Community Correspondent Lucy F. J. Pope On the 20th of May 2010, the National Physics Laboratory (NPL) opened its doors to the public for its ‘World Metrology Day‘. Attracting people as young as
five, there was definitiely something for everyone. Whether it was science students wishing to experience science on a larger, more tangible scale, or general members of the public interested in
exploring its local science facility, the laboratory was filled with interesting exhibits, falling in to six different categories; SI units of measurement, Energy & the Environment, IT &
Communications, Health & Security, Engineering & Materials and Educational Outreach Materials.
