A couple of chaps named Colin Bain (Durham Uni) and Christopher Mellor (National Institute for Medical Research) have been really unkind to some mini-beanbag-contents, using arrays of lasers to build literally microscopic sheets and structures out of polystyrene nanospheres and to increase our scientific understanding of how light acts on even smaller scales within crystals.
I don’t see how this amazing stuff will directly invade our everyday electronics, but I presume that having exact metrics for how, why and when to build circuitry is probably a good place to start: shades of “Hey! I’m gunner print me-self a new memory card!”
Just as long as it ain’t a model like HAL 9000, made in Urbana, Illinois, and it holds no songs from Mr Langley (especially not any about Daisy and not affording a carriage). (-:
