Magnetic remote actuation of soft materials is attractive for applications such as transforming materials and medical robots. However, due to manufacturing limitations, microscale magnetoactive devices are scarce and light-based additive manufacturing methods, despite achieving microscale resolution, struggle with particle-induced light scattering. Moreover, large hard-magnetic microparticles restrict ultimate feature sizes and deformation of soft-magnetic nanoparticle composites […]
Endovascular interventions—i.e., minimally invasive procedures that involve navigating guidewires and/or microcatheters through a patient’s vasculature to access target treatment sites—have emerged as a preferable alternative to traditional open surgery in many clinical contexts. Unfortunately, maneuverability constraints inherent to conventional guidewire-microcatheter systems can hinder effective navigation to target sites, elevating the risk of procedural complications or […]
We present a scalable cryo-CMOS controller for color-center-based quantum processors. A diamond waveguide micro-chiplet with NVs is pick-and-placed on CMOS with a 3D-printed prism for scalable photonic readout. A serial qubit driver array using grid inductors and pulse-width modulators generates a programmable 2.87GHz magnetic field for each qubit with low power and strong confinement. Up […]
Fiber-based passive mode-locked lasers (MLLs) are a well-established technology for high-speed optical communications, capable of generating ultrashort pulses with high energy. While most commercial MLLs operate at repetition rates around 100 MHz, increasing this frequency to the GHz range introduces significant challenges, including polarization control, efficient saturation of the saturable absorber, heat dissipation and the […]
Glasses are utilized for their outstanding optical, mechanical, and thermal properties. However, conventional production methods mostly yield in glasses with uniform compositions and material properties. Here a novel lithographic approach is presented for high-resolution 3D dopant integration at defined positions, which enables property modifications in specific regions. For this, a porous glass matrix derived from […]
The ability of a sensor to provide stable and reliable response while operating in harsh environments is crucial for many applications. It is highly dependent on the composition of the material constituting the sensor. In this work, we investigated the 3D printing of three types of materials to evaluate their performance for temperature and pressure […]
Advancements in hybrid sol-gel technology have provided a new class of holographic materials as photopolymerizable glasses. Recently, a number of photosensitive glass compositions with high dynamic range and high spatial resolution have been reported and their excellent capability for volume holography has been demonstrated. Nevertheless, challenges remain, particularly in relation to the processing time and […]
