As microfluidics continues to reshape biomedical engineering, diagnostics, chemical synthesis, and organ-on-chip research, manufacturing methods must evolve accordingly. In this evolving landscape, high-resolution additive manufacturing is emerging as a transformative production method. By combining micron-level precision with true 3D freedom, micro-scale 3D printing enables the fabrication of structures that are even impossible to achieve through […]

In advanced manufacturing and engineering development, innovation is no longer defined by precision alone, but by how fast ideas can be realized, validated, and deployed. The microArch® S150 Ultra sets a new benchmark in micro-scale additive manufacturing by combining true 25µm resolution, industry-leading print speed, and exceptional tolerance control. Designed for both research and industrial […]

Electronic skin (E-skin) is a critical enabler for dexterous robotic hands, forming the foundation of tactile perception, intelligent decision-making, and adaptive human–machine interaction. By mimicking the human sense of touch, E-skin allows robots to perceive pressure, texture, and motion—capabilities essential for applications ranging from surgical assistance to precision industrial manipulation. However, most existing E-skin solutions […]

Electromagnetic (EM) metamaterial absorbers (MMAs) represent a new generation of engineered materials capable of manipulating electromagnetic waves in ways that are fundamentally unattainable with conventional absorbers. Unlike traditional absorbing materials, whose performance is largely limited by intrinsic dielectric losses, metamaterial absorbers rely on precisely engineered subwavelength unit cells to achieve tailored resonance behavior. Broadband MMAs […]

A research team from the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Wuhan University has developed a pH-responsive bilayer microneedle patch that achieves ultrasound-activated antibacterial therapy and immune modulation, offering a powerful new non-antibiotic strategy for infected wound treatment. The study, titled “Three-in-one bilayer microneedle patch for ultrasound-activated antibacterial therapy and immune modulation in wound healing”, has been […]

The human gut is one of the most complex and dynamic microbial ecosystems. Often referred to as a “forgotten organ,” the intestinal microbiome plays a decisive role in digestion, immune modulation, metabolic balance, and even neurological health. Yet despite decades of research, one fundamental challenge has remained unresolved: how to accurately sample microorganisms from different […]
