The goal of 3D printing is to realize complex 3D structures by locally adding material in small
volume elements called voxels—in contrast to successively subtracting material by etching …

The unique characteristics of ultrafast lasers have rapidly revolutionized materials
processing after their first demonstration in 1987. The ultrashort pulse width of the laser …

Liquid manipulation is the foundation of most laboratory processes. For macroscale liquid
handling, both do-it-yourself and commercial robotic systems are available; however, for …

There is demand for scaling up 3D printing throughput, especially for the multi-photon 3D
printing process that provides sub-micrometer structuring capabilities required in diverse …

Femtosecond lasers have unique characteristics of ultrashort pulse width and extremely
high peak intensity; however, one of the most important features of femtosecond laser …

Multiphoton microfabrication enables the production of three‐dimensional microstructures
with sub‐100 nm resolution via direct laser writing using a femtosecond, pulsed laser beam …

Using light to control liquid motion is a new paradigm for the actuation of microfluidic
systems. We review here the different principles and strategies to induce or control liquid …

We present a programmable acoustofluidic pump that utilizes the acoustic streaming effects
generated by the oscillation of tilted sharp-edge structures. This sharp-edge-based …

The field of micro total analysis systems (μTAS), or “lab on a chip”, has continued to gain
maturity. The importance of μTAS is reflected in both the growing number and the improved …

Optical tweezers are a highly versatile tool for exploration of the mesoscopic world,
permitting non-contact manipulation of nanoscale objects. However, direct illumination with …
