The degree of precision of these machines seems almost impossible.  It shows that if there is a financial incentive, the free market will find a way.

There are not many companies that have these capabilities, and a manufacturing plant costs billions of dollars to build.

I saw a headline today about the first 2 nanometer chip being manufactured.  From what I understand, we are approaching the limits of what physics will allow.
