Atom art shines

IBM immortallised themselves more than a decade ago by writing their company logo in atoms. Now, 17 years later, to demonstrate their latest printing technique they've created a copy of Robert Fludd's Sun using 20'000 gold particles.

The smallest counterfeit reproduction ever? At 0.00000006 metres (60nm) in diameter, I think so.
There's no price tag for this image yet, though I highly doubt that IBM would sell it anyway.
