Some of the highest precision manufacturing in our country is located in extremely rural areas because nearby highways introduce too much vibration otherwise. Even relatively humdrum spindle assembly is typically done in clean rooms to make sure no dust gets in the bearings. Super high precision machining is even more extreme. It's a wonderful thing to dive into but it also makes me happy to be in software sometimes. (That said, my friends in machining are happy they're not in software so take that as you will :)

When I heard about it I wondered if it might have been cheaper to build elsewhere. https://spectrum.ieee.org/ibm-goes-for-world-record-in-noisefree-labs- https://spectrum.ieee.org/ibm-goes-for-world-record-in-noise...
