Materials Science Toys on Display

BoringNitride writes "Nanotech tool vendors hawked their wares to innovative engineers at the spring meeting of the Materials Research Society this week at San Francisco's Moscone Center. Wired took a break from presentations on molecular motors and the mechanical properties of human skin to take a walk across the showroom floor. They captured close-ups of some of the most precise molecule-building and measurement tools in the world."

The Fujifilm Dimatix printer can churn out OLED (organic LED) displays, biosensors and custom circuits. Unlike an ordinary printer, its piezoelectric head can squirt out gold nanoparticles, colloidal silver or DNA, a few trillionths of a liter at a time.

I wonder if the cartridges on that thing come only 1/4 full?
