Tiny holes
by: Alex

Researchers at Cardiff University have used electrical discharge machining to drill a hole 22 microns in diameter, smaller than a human hair.  This could have amazing impact on the development of micro-electro-mechanical systems.  MEMS fascinate me, especially these videos of spider mites crawling over moving parts half their size.
