New nano knight

Seeing as my last post of 2006 was about awards, it's not such a bad idea to start 2007 with something along the same lines.

Chemistry (and nanotechnology) has a new knight - not sure if that comes with shining armour or not though! In the New Year's Honours List, Fraser Stoddart, professor at UCLA, receives a knighthood for his services to chemistry and molecular nanotechnology. I wonder if Sir Fraser will be rubbing shoulders with 'Sir' Bono, who received an honourary knighthood this year...?!

Will a molecular knights bachelor insignia soon appear on the cover of Nature Nanotechnology?

Does this mean that the Stoddart group members have been promoted from peons to squires?
