China set to build giant chip factory using a particle accelerator

tldr: they're working on a process that uses an electron laser for lithography. the particle accelerator is a typical way to make an electron laser.

Surely there must be an easier way to fry potato slices

Reading about nanolithography like this is amazing, the technology involved is mind blowing.

The legendendary Dorotes will soon be made
