That would go great next to my 22-micron high “David”.

You know, you might be on to something. A collection of microscopic sculptures. Kinda knocks microprint into a cocked hat, huh?

I guess we can just can get on with the exploding face-recognizing robot flies we need for Ladin hunting for now.

I’m not sure DARPA can get it done that soon.

Maybe DARPA can’t. But this is the Dawning of the Age of Space Ship One. Somebody will. :)

A Thinker this size is certainly apropos considering the amount of deep thinking that occurs in our halls of Government these days.
Or perhaps a Thinker this size represents how Politicians consider the importance of the Peoples will.

In all seriousness, it’s lasers in a FABrication clean room. Liek and Intel-type of industry. Making wafers substrates for semi-conductor business.

Just WOW.

If the overall height of the piece is 20 microns, the smallest identifiable detail, like a toe, is about 1/50th of that, or around 400 angstroms.

Just, WOW.
