To address the demand for laser beam-shaping techniques, we developed a one-step exposure process based on moving-mask lithography for the fabrication of a continuous-surface diffractive optical element (DOE) for laser beam shaping. The fabrication p...

For relaxor ferroelectric single crystal (1 − x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 − xPbTiO3 (PMN-PT), through reasonable component regulation and electric field polarization, an orthogonal mm2 point group structure can be obtained, which has high piezoele...

The journal retracts the article titled “Surface Hydrophilic Modification for Chip of Centrifugal Microfluidic Immunoassay System” [...]

Until now, the ultimate solution for blind people has not been achieved, because challenges still exist. Retinal implants have emerged as a promising solution for restoring vision in individuals suffering from retinal degenerative diseases such as re...

In this study, the photonic band structure, transmissivity, and electric field distribution of a two-dimensional photonic crystal coupled waveguide structure are calculated using the supercell technique and finite element method. The waveguide consis...

In practical dielectrophoretic cell interaction experiments, cells do not always exhibit circular or rod-like shapes, making the study of dielectrophoretic interactions among irregularly shaped particles of significant importance. We established a ma...

Investment casting is a precision casting technology that can produce complex shapes from various materials, particularly difficult-to-cast and difficult-to-machine metallic alloys. Meanwhile, electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a well-known tech...

In recent years, emerging digital microfluidic technology has shown great application potential in fields such as biology and medicine due to its simple structure, sample-saving properties, ease of integration, and wide range of manipulation. Current...

Knudsen force phenomenon caused by non-uniform temperature fields in rarefied gas has been a topic of interest among researchers of gas sensing and structure actuating for micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). The effects of gas–surface inter...

We propose a novel passive micromixer based on multiple passages and analyze its mixing performance comprehensively. The multiple passages are constructed with straight channels, making them easier to manufacture, compared to conventional SAR micromi...
