Nanoimprint lithography: An old story in modern times? A review
TL;DR: Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is a high throughput, high-resolution parallel patterning method in which a surface pattern of a stamp is replicated into a material by mechanical contact and three dimensional material displacement.

Designable 3D nanofabrication by femtosecond laser direct writing
TL;DR: Femtosecond laser direct writing (FsLDW) has been established as a nano-enabler to solve problems that are otherwise not possible in diversified scientific and industrial fields, because of its unique three-dimensional processing capability, arbitrary shape designability, and high fabricating accuracy up to tens of nanometers, far beyond the optical diffraction limit.

Patterning proteins and cells using soft lithography
TL;DR: This review describes the pattering of proteins and cells using a non-photolithographic microfabrication technology, which consists of a set of related techniques, each of which uses stamps or channels fabricated in an elastomeric ('soft') material for pattern transfer.
