A recent "Bay Area Computer Currents" mentioned that the Japanese nuclear
energy department (of the Japanese government) was collaborating with one
of the chip companies to build a small cyclotron for generating high-energy
particle beams which would be used to print submicron chips including RAMs.
This is from memory; Computer Currents is usually such a bad rag that I
threw this one out from habit.  They finally seem to be improving, though.
