To make skyrmion bubbles, researchers crafted a setup made out of tiny, precise, layered structures made using a process
called lithography at the Center for Nanoscale Materials, a DOE Office of Science user facility at Argonne.
The process for making LCDs,
called lithography, is akin to printing in that layers of semiconductor, metal and insulator are laid down on top of each other to form the electrodes which switch the pixels on and off.

Lithography, the template is a three - dimensional polymer material (E) that is etched simultaneously with the semiconductor stack to produce the desired circuit features (F).
Mirkin's team previously pioneered a technique
called polymer pen
lithography, creating tiny plastic tips shaped like inverted pyramids, which use ink to write features onto a surface.
A cheaper alternative,
called polymer pen
lithography (PPL), uses arrays of thousands to millions of tiny polymer pyramids essentially as quills to inscribe different materials onto a surface.
Nanocombinatorics: The new analytical method utilizes a technique invented at Northwestern
called polymer pen
lithography, where basically a rubber stamp having as many as 11 million sharp pyramids is mounted on a transparent glass backing and precisely controlled by an atomic force microscope to generate desired patterns on a surface.
