What's especially remarkable about this process is how they're using an every-day piece of electronics, a Lightscribe, a DVD burner basically, to do the production.

They need a laser with precision control and where better to find one than in a device like that.

LightScribe was discontinued in 2013, and is no longer available on new drives. It's fortunate that someone thought to try this experiment during its brief window of popularity.

Finding these used would not be hard.

> a Lightscribe, a DVD burner basically,

Lightscribe IS a DVD burner; in addition to burning DVDs, it lets you write patterns on the other (non-data) side. This uses that ability to etch the solution poured on the top.
