Sculpture of a Bull -- "The bull, made from synthetic resin with a laser technique called two-photon photo-polymerization, is the smallest model animal ever made, according to an article by Kawata and colleagues in the August 16, 2001 edition of Nature magazine. They said in their paper that the creation of 'micromachines would allow them to be transported to locations inside the human body through even the smallest blood vessels, for example to deliver clinical treatments." (Comments: This bull is extremely small. How do you think nanotechnology and usability will intersect? I think that it is a damn interesting question! If we want to evolve the concepts of usability, we've got to ask "crazy" questions like this. I'd love to hear your thoughts...)
