A moment ago on the morn news I saw a Dr.Chang of CALTECH who developed a microscope smaller than a sugar cube.

I'm trying to find a link. Help me guys. This is so cool and all all the applications for it is amazing.

Thx DT for the links. :up:

This is such an amazing breakthrough. It's science fiction becoming a reality.

With a hundred million future investment to bring the price down to 10 bucks a copy I probably won't see it's use in my life time.

Google is your friend:sunny:

Seriously, a hundred million is a drop in the bucket compared to what is spent worldwide on military projects, or even game consoles:rotfl:. Shame we (the human race in general) can't get our priorities in some semblance of order.:nope:
