MIT made a nearly unbelievable leap towards manipulating 40,000 individual atoms of graphic track into a single crystal at 40 degrees Celsius (room temperature) in about 40 minutes. By precisely using electron beam technology and sophisticated algorithms, MIT was able to go beyond the limitations of manipulating atoms at absolute zero and the manipulation of only the surface of an atom when working with 3D printed crystals. Specifically, by producing stable 3D quantum defects, MIT has unlocked the potential for scalable quantum computing, massive amounts of data storage, and even 3D printing of all atoms, one at a time.
