(57) ABSTRACT A soft, flexible microtube sensor and associated method of sensing force
are described. A liquid metallic alloy is sealed within a microtube as thin as a strand of …

We propose and demonstrate a photolithography method for fine metal structure fabrication
based on laser drawing that uses the interference pattern generated by co-propagating …

We report that incandescent beams patterned with amplitude depressions (dips) suffer
instability in a photopolymerizable system and organize into lattices of black and bright self …

Summary Three‐dimensional (3D) laser (nano) polymerization via efficient thermal and
linear processes holds promise to meet the needs of material processing at the industrial …

Very interesting effects can be observed in maneuvering nematic liquid crystal (NLC)
droplets onto functionalized polar lithium niobate (LN) crystal surfaces, covered with thin …

A challenging request in the fabrication of microfluidics and biomedical microsystems is a
flexible ink-jet printing for breaking the rigidity of classical lithography. A pyroelectric-EHD …

The present invention relates to a flexible polymer-based microtube having an inner
diameter of about 4 μm to about 1000 μm and a variable outer diameter, wherein the cross …

This paper describes the use of electro-hydrodynamic actuation to control the transition
between three major flow patterns of an aqueous-oil Newtonian flow in a microchannel …

Theoretical and experimental work on nanoscale viscoelastic flows of polystyrene melts is
presented. The reflow above the glass transition temperature (T g) of a continuous patterned …

A large variety of processes and tools have recently emerged to design biomaterials with
controlled chemical, physical, and biological properties for biomedical applications. Among …
