[I heard about this on the radio, and found it on the web. Scientists have
created a sculpture the size of a red blood cell, (that's really small)
using a couple of computer-controlled infra-red lasers focused in a tank of
optically sensitive resin. Apparently, this material polymerizes where the
two beams intersect, so a detailed sculpture (a bull) could be created by
moving this intersection point. There's a picture of it here:
