1/ "molten glass comes on two sides of a trough, overflows the trough, fuses below, and then just cools as a optically perfect sheet that’s a half-millimeter thick, the width of a king-size bed, and then a robot grabs it while it’s cooling and cuts it off."theverge.com/2021/8/31/2264…
2/ But I thought we ran out of new ideas in 1971! How can this be?
"the surface of the mirror is smooth to the level of one atom. If we pointed this system at the moon, right, when that beam of light got to the moon, it’d be like, I forget the exact number, 20 centimeters wide."

3/ This, you know, seems innovative!
"to get that extreme ultraviolet light, they vaporize tin, the metal, with a laser. And then when the vaporized tin is dropping, they hit the drops with another laser and it generates this plasma, which emits this extreme ultraviolet."

4/ What about total factor productivity? But mRNA seems innovative.
"In late ‘80s into the '90s the US government invested in genomics, the human genome program, biotechnology, molecular biology... And we had this wave of innovation which laid the foundation for mRNA vaccines."
