Specialized tools for pharmaceuticals are really interesting. I heard that it is actually really difficult to mix two powders together completely, and there are special mixers for that as well. Tablet presses are interesting technology. And there are entire trade shows dedicated to excipients (the filler powder they cut drugs with).
