Hehehe, yeah. These types of points are needed for use in electron microscopy. Basically what happens (very simplified) in electron microscopy is that the atomic point pokes and prods around with an electron beam to generate am image. Very neat stuff.
One of my professors has a company that specializes in manufacturing all these esoteric scientific devices. The company has a machine that can produce these atomic "needles", so to speak, and does it quite well. Of course, the machine is something like $10k and the material that it needs to produce the points is gold
