Citadel.

Made in Ireland by Ciaran Foy.

Robert Coyle sez:

I have nothing to do with the movie I am just a big AICN [movie website] fan and it’s wonderful to see an independent Irish Movie getting such a great writeup.

How great?

“The tone of the film is a rock solid slow burn creep-out style built by tense set-ups, eerie sound design, a haunted leading performance and a deteriorating urban landscape that evokes a plague epidemic movie feel.

While I won’t go into any radical spoilers I will say that they don’t cop out with this premise. These little hoodied fuckers aren’t projections by a fractured psyche, but real life horror shows that would be at home in early Cronenberg or Argento films.”

 

Yay.

See, there you go.

This race car, which is only about 100 µm wide, was created at the Vienna University of Technology using a nanoscale 3D printer. Like a conventional 3D printer, resin is used to make shapes, but unlike a conventional 3D printer, the resin is hardened with a laser. To make such super tiny objects, you have to use a super tiny laser beam, and tune it so that the only place were the resin can absorb two photons at once is in the exact center of the beam. Such precision means that a lot of detail is possible, and it also makes the process fast: printing this entire car out of 100 individual layers only took about four minutes.

Now all they need is a nano-compressor to pump up those tyres.
