The multistep, two-photon-lithography-based additive manufacturing method forms intermediate products of blank polymer, Ni-infused polymer, and NiO while fabricating Ni nanopillars. (Credit: Zhang et ...

Multiphoton lithography (often called multiphoton 3D lithography) is an additive manufacturing approach for fabricating intricate micro- and nanostructures. It relies on nonlinear optical absorption, ...

In 1964, just four years after Theodore Maiman's pioneering laser operation at the Hughes Research Laboratory in California, the James Bond film Goldfinger hinted at laser cutting, albeit for less ...

Researchers have created a new type of epoxy photoresist that greatly improves the speed and detail of two-photon laser writing. This new material can write at a speed of 100 mm/s and can create tiny ...
