Okay but Japan had a major breakthrough the other day that made this technique obsolete for the majority of components.

I mean if every headline about massive breakthroughs was the full truth all our appliances would be powered by tiny nuclear power plants and we would fly around with our jetpack. Cancer would be but a distant memory and world hunger a non issue because vertical farms would be literally in every home.

    Thanks. Oh yes, I heard about this technology (but not the latest update) from a youtube video. It’s completely insane!

    It has its pros and cons. Pros are that it's faster and uses less energy and no complex optics system. Cons are that they have to replace the masks fairly regularly because they degrade with each imprint made. This probably also means that yields are lower towards the end of the life of the mask.

    I'm from the school of "capitalism stops progress when there's not profit to be made".

    So all these things could have come true if someone didn't stop them because they were going to lose money.
