Breaking the Material Limits of Micro- and Nano-Scale 3D Printing

Until recently, most advanced 3D micro- and nanofabrication techniques were limited to polymers, restricting the range of materials that could be used. Now, an international research team has published a landmark study in the journal Nature demonstrating a state-of-the-art fabrication technique that overcomes these long-standing material limitations.
