Atom Pinhole Camera Acts as a Shrinking Copy Machine

Basically by shooting atoms through a nanoscale pinhole on a mask at a substrate on the other side, researchers have found that they will create a smaller version of the reflected structure – a cheap and easy way to make a nanostructure. What’s more, it’s scaleable: they can make loads of pinholes and shoot atoms through them and they’ll make loads of nanostructures which don’t overlap, so mass production becomes an option.

Logitech’s Force Feedback Flight System

It’s been a long long while since anything new has come out for military flight sim enthusiasts, and this looks like it is just what the doctor ordered. Since Vista dropped support for the gameport – and thus for my F-15 inspired Suncom set up (no longer for sale, but definitely the best stick / throttle setup I’ve ever seen!) there’s been not much, excepting the odd Thrustmaster setup.

Allthough not based on a reall stick, the setup looks solid. It’s fully programmable, has about the right amount of buttons and offers force feedback as well as toe brakes on the rudders.
