Teeny tiny Tower Bridge: 3D-nanoprinting creates objects as small as a GRAIN OF SAND

[MindMover]

Making complex, large 3D structures would normally take hours or even days to perfect.

But researchers from the Vienna University of Technology have speeded that up - considerably - and produced grain-of-sand sized objects such as bridges, cathedrals and Formula 1 cars.

It is thought that the world record for producing the nano-objects in the quickest time has been smashed.
