article_snippet.sent: The 45-year-old's "Nano-sculptures" are made from a mysterious resin -- "a big scientific secret", says London-based artist Jonty Hurwitz -- and created through a process called "two-photon lithography.
article_snippet.sent: London-based artist Jonty Hurwitz works with a team of nanotechnology engineers at Karlsruhe University, who focus beams of ultraviolet light to "zap" solid the liquid resin, one 3D pixel at a time.
article_snippet.sent: Put one into the eye of a needle, and a needle will barely occupy one corner.
article_snippet.sent: The "Nano" project is just one of London-based artist Jonty Hurwitz science-inspired sculptural experiments.
article_snippet.sent: And London-based artist Jonty Hurwitz hints that a forthcoming project will also be influenced by London-based artist Jonty Hurwitz love of the natural world, but will sit at the opposite end of the scale to London-based artist Jonty Hurwitz nano-models.
article_snippet.sent: Hurwitz makes no secret of Hurwitz desire to bring together contemporary science and art -- delighting in the fact that Hurwitz nano-scale and 3D printed pieces depend on cutting edge technology, and would have been unimaginable just 10 years ago.
article_snippet.sent: For Hurwitz, this mystery gets right to the heart of nano-scale's appeal: .
article_snippet.sent: You've got this 'emperor's new clothes' element to this end of the scale spectrum, because you look at these nano-sculptures
highlights_snippet.sent: London-based artist Jonty Hurwitz're made using ultraviolet light and resin, and then photographed with an electron microscope .
