Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) is an ideal tool for studying the 
structure of materials in the range between 10 and 1000 Angstrom. This 
wide size range means the technique can be usefully applied across a 
range of disciplines from medicine to structural engineering. The use of 
neutron radiation provides many advantages including isotopic 
sensitivity, in particular hydrogen/deuterium contrast variation, which 
are unavailable for complementary techniques such Transmission Electron 
Microscopy and x-ray small angle scattering. In this talk, I will 
provide a brief introduction to the technique, emphasising what 
structural information is obtainable from SANS. I will illustrate the 
talk with recent examples from a wide range of disciplines.
