One of Atala's colleagues had the bright idea that if a printer can spray tiny bits of ink in a pre-set pattern, why couldn't that same technique be used to scatter cells into pre-designed templates? So, instead of printing in one dimension, Atala's expert re-tooled the printer to "print" its cells in successive layers; the end result is a three-dimensional mold of cells that looks suspiciously like, for example, a rudimentary heart...
...effects - synchrotron X rays are a crucial tool. The molecules are too small to be imaged individually, so Varghese must grow them into crystals, each just 1/10,000th the width of a human hair, which are then bombarded with X rays. The ways in which the crystals absorb or scatter the radiation give clues to their inner structure...
