Technology advance could expand the reach of 3D nanoprinting

Chinese researchers have developed an easy-to-build, low-cost 3D nanoprinting system that can create arbitrary 3D structures with extremely fine features, precise enough to print metamaterials as well as a variety of optical devices and components such as microlenses and micro-optical devices.
