It's used to make teeny tiny EDM tools, which are then used to form microchip wafers, which are then used to make tiny little, non-mechanical, experimental gyroscopic devices for DARPA.
And apparently it pays very, very well.

Neat. But...non-mechanical gyroscopes? WTF? Something with electron beams, I assume?

Don't really know the full scoop. Just found out at 8:30 this morning on 4 hours of sleep. Haven't researched it yet.

I think if you align the so-tiny-they're-invisible universes just so, they act like a motorcycle wheel.
May God help us all. Destroy that machine. Save us from ourselves!
Also.
