The knowledge of mechanics of materials has been extensively implemented in developing
functional materials, giving rise to recent advances in soft actuators, flexible electronics …

Modern microelectronic systems and their components are essentially 3D devices that have
become smaller and lighter in order to improve performance and reduce costs. To maintain …

Displays in which arrays of microscopic 'particles', or chiplets, of inorganic light-emitting
diodes (LEDs) constitute the pixels, termed MicroLED displays, have received considerable …

Progress in artificial muscles relies on new architectures that combine soft matter with
transduction mechanisms for converting controlled stimuli into mechanical work. Liquid …

Electronic devices and their components are continually evolving to offer improved
performance, smaller sizes, lower weight, and reduced costs, often requiring the state‐of‐the …

Surface tension effects are known to be dominant at the submillimeter scale. Within this
context, the literature has extensively described the underlying physics (eg, surface tension …

Hetero-integration of functional semiconductor layers and devices has received strong
research interest from both academia and industry. While conventional techniques such as …

Sub‐millimeter robots—microrobots—that can autonomously perform mechanical work at
the microscale would radically change new areas of human activity such as …

Self‐folding broadly refers to the assembly of 3D structures by bending, curving, and folding
without the need for manual or mechanized intervention. Self‐folding is scientifically …

Direct transfer of pre-patterned device-grade nano-to-microscale materials highly benefits
many existing and potential, high performance, heterogeneously integrated functional …
