They use a particle accelerator to do lithography. Very cool. Similar results to ASML at half the cost, supposedly.

You think this is going to be like graphene and solid state batteries, capable of everything except leaving the lab? Or do we have an amazing innovation here that’ll eventually reduce the cost of all chips?

that is always the question, ain’t it?

All you need is a 3D printer for the particle accelerator.
