Famed neurologist and writer Oliver Sacks died over the weekend at 82. Sacks made a double career of exploring the human brain, and writing about the most remarkable patients and stories he found in that work. “The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat” was just one of his bestselling books. “Awakenings” another. Robin Williams played Sacks in the movie. In 2013, we talked with Oliver Sacks about life and aging. “The joy of aging,” he called it. As always, he was remarkable.

“using direct laser writing (DLW), german technology company nanoscribe have integrated the means of photonic professional laser lithography systems to create three-dimensional printed forms in nanoscale. the unique ability to structure in 3D with sub-micrometer sizes opens the door for rapid prototyping applications in areas such as 3D photonics and biomimetics, micro-fluidics and mechanical micro-structures.“
