Objects once measured in meters have become so small that they cannot

be seen by the naked eye, with revolutionary applications across
the board. Gentlemen, forget what your courtesans have told you:
size does matter!

—CEO Nwabudike Morgan,
Morgan Industries Annual Report
Monopole Magnets and Organic Superlubricants lead to a revolution in engineering: Nanominiaturization. With this technology, which emphasizes new assembly methods and high-tensile strength materials, microscopic machine components can be constructed and all manner of bulky, heavy equipment can be shrunk to a fraction of its original size.
