➀ Loughborough University physicists created a platinum violin measuring 35 microns long using nanotechnology to demonstrate their new nanolithography system's capabilities;
➁ The process involved thermal scanning probe lithography with a NanoFrazor machine, depositing platinum on a resist-coated chip to form the microscopic structure;
➂ The system supports research into advanced materials for next-gen computing, including energy-efficient data storage and processing methods.
