Researchers have successfully used a groundbreaking technique called ice lithography to create tiny, biocompatible patterns on the bodies of tardigrades, also known as “water bears.” This innovative process involves projecting an electron beam into a thin layer of ice that coats living tissue, leaving intricate designs imprinted on the organism. The study’s findings represent a significant step forward in harnessing the power of microfabrication in living systems, potentially revolutionizing medicine and bioengineering.
