Achieving atomic-level precision in optics
The manufacturing precision of lithography mirrors is so extreme that if a mirror were the size of Germany, the largest imperfection would be the width of a hair.
Building physical prototypes is economically impossible, so development relies on simulating the product, manufacturing processes, and production machinery.
