文摘In a recently published paper in Opto-Electronic Advances,Mangirdas Malinauskas and his colleagues at Vilnius University report on a new high resolution inorganic material synthesis pathway using 3D laser printing and calcination.3D metamaterials(beyond what exist in nature)emerge from research in high-resolution 3D polymerisation/printing where proportions of inorganic parts of a composit can be widely tuned1.By adding a high temperature annealing(HTA)post-fabrication step of sintering/calcination in air/oxygen flow2−5 after the 3D polymerisation,a new glass and/or ceramic 3D structure with nanoscale features and large down-sizing can be produced6 as shown in Fig.1.
