Smaller is better, if you are a nanotechnologist. So the challenge is to make things smaller and smaller. Sometimes it is useful, other times it is for fun. Like the smallest American flag, or the smallest space ship! Right a space ship. One printed using a high resolution 3D printer. Scientists at the University of Austria have used a 3D printer to make a tiny space ship (and a tiny race car) using a lithographic printing technique that builds things up on a layer by layer basis. The space ship was about 100,000 nanometers or about the width of a hair. It took only 50 seconds to make. Does it fly? Not on its own but it is still cool to see.
