New superconductors can be built atom by atom, researchers show
phys.org
The future of electronics will be based on novel kinds of materials. Sometimes, however, the naturally occurring topology of atoms makes it difficult for new physical effects to be created. To tackle this problem, researchers at the University of Zurich have now successfully designed superconductors one atom at a time, creating new states of matter.

    So, it’s a the beginning of a 3D printer that constructs things at an atomic level. A quantum printer then. Just stuff it with dirt, tell it what you want it to turn those dirt molecules into, and then it rearranges the atoms into new materials.
