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."

    This modular desktop evaporation system, made by Ted Pella, can gracefully deposit thin films of metal or organic material onto any substrate.

    I am also capable of gracefully depositing thin films of organic material on a substrate, but instead of an evaporation system, I use an ejaculation system! And instead of a substrate, I use a jailbait!
