Right, but so they used two-photon lithographic techniques.
So this is not a printer that...
You and Ian are messing around with for the SDU.
Yes.
Well, what's happening is that I didn't go too deep into that aspect of exactly how the 3D printing aspect works, but basically it's called two-photon lithographic laser designing, and it basically uses that to harden the polymers, right?
So you shoot the laser to harden the polymer, and that hardened part is what is being used in additive manufacturing.
Right.
And we're talking nanometer resolution.
I mean, crazy, crazy resolution.
So this really didn't exist until recently.
So they designed it, built it, and then now when they put that all together, they proved that they have an achromatic X-ray lens that they can now use.
to image the nanoworld in very inexpensive, nimble devices that many companies can now use.
So you'll be seeing people doing research for microchips, batteries, and care, material science, lots of material science research using this now.
So this could really just open up a whole new world to researchers to really develop these technologies a lot faster than before.
Right.
And they could – if they really wanted that information before, they kind of could do that, but it would be slow and expensive, take a lot of time.
Here they can just do it in their lab with the machine that they –
bought or whatever, and they wouldn't have to go to these big places.
It's like CRISPR, where now every lab can do CRISPR, and now lots more labs can do this type of research.
Cool stuff.
