A new technique uses a pulsing laser to create synthetic nanodiamond films and patterns from graphite, with potential applications from biosensors to computer chips. “The biggest advantage is that you ...

Abstract: Direct writing technique to build micro/nano structures for flexible electronics and bioengineerings shows unique advantages of simplicity, fast and low cost et al. In order to address its ...

Here we report a single-step direct writing technology for making three-dimensional (3D) macroporous photonic crystal patterns on a new type of pressure-responsive shape memory polymer (SMP). This ...

Introduction: Many different fluids have been used with nozzle-based direct writing techniques, including polyelectrolytes, colloidal inks, hydrogel inks and polymer solutions [1]. A key property of ...
