…tinier sizes after the fact. 3D Print with Nanoscale Precision Using a technique called implosion fabrication, researcher Ed Boyden and his team have been able to print complex shapes and structures at very tiny sizes. “It’s a way of putting nearly any kind of material into a 3-D pattern with nanoscale precision,” said Boyden, the Y. Eva Tan Professor in Neurotechnology and an associate professor of biological engineering and of brain and cognitive sciences at MIT. MIT had previously created the technique (known as expansion microscopy) to do exactly the reverse – it was used to magnify details in brain…
