Metallenses turned laboratory technology into a factory machine

Scientists and engineers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, together with colleagues from Stanford, have done something that previously seemed fantastic.

You can turn rays on and off, change the thickness of lines, and build complex patterns layer by layer.

According to Xia, at first they just wanted to equalize the intensity of the beams, but they got a completely new degree of freedom.

When we realized that we could dynamically turn off the beams and think through the trajectory, we printed sixteen different chess openings in one process,” says the first author of the work, Songyun Gu.
