Woah... Individual dust particle rendering? Amazing stuff. I wonder if they can simulate brownian motion with it?
It's times like these when I think maybe the day when we can simulate the complex chemical reactions in a single cell may not be so far away... It's still a long way from this, which while there's a LOT going on, it's all still relatively simple and basic interactions. Heck even the math used to describe chemical interactions doesn't seem to cut it when it comes to cells, too much interdependent interactions going on. Something new may need to come along, like how calculus was invented as a tool to help with physics.
This however shows promise in that direction... some day... Imagine FLoW made on THAT sort of engine.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
