Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) have developed a new method of 3-D-printing gels
and other soft materials. Published in a new paper, it has the
potential to create complex structures with nanometer-scale
precision. Because many gels are compatible with living cells, the
new method could jump-start the production of soft tiny medical
devices such as drug delivery systems or flexible electrodes that
can be inserted into the human body.
