Fastest ever nano-pen "surfs" on a liquid cushion

Scanning probe lithography (SPL) is a method of printing nanoscale items one line at a time, like an inkjet printer. While this method achieves a very fine level of detail, it's typically slower than other nanoscale printing methods. Purdue researchers have developed a novel way for an SPL printing head to "surf" on a cushion of liquid, creating a nano-pen that is more than 100 times faster than any other SPL printer.
