• Resumen

  • Generating tiny swells in a dish of saline solution prompts beads, copper powder and even cells to assemble into a panoply of intricate patterns. The technique could offer a simple way to build elaborate microelectronics and make human tissue. Now a team led by Utkan Demirci at Stanford University in California has found a way to quickly build structures a few millimeters across from almost anything, using a "liquid template".
