Directed Self-Assembly at the 10 nm Scale by Using Capillary Force-Induced Nanocohesion

We demonstrated a new nanoassembly strategy based on capillary force-induced cohesion of high-aspect ratio nanostructures made by electron-beam lithography. Using this strategy, ordered complex pattern were fabricated from individual nanostructures at the 10 nm length scale. This method enables the formation of complex designed networks from a sparse array of nanostructures, suggesting a number of potential applications in fabrication of nanodevices, nanopatterning, and fluid-flow investigations

3D Printable Silicone Rubber for Long-Lasting and Weather-Resistant Wearable Devices

Flexible wearable devices based on gels are attracting widespread attentions. However, the stability and fatigue resistance of gels always conflict with their stretchability and conductivity, which severely limit their practical applications. Herein, we propose a flexible gel wearable device based on two networks of thiol–ene and acrylate, exhibiting marvelous flexibility, sensitivity, weather resistance, as well as stability. We use silicone rubber as a cross-linking monomer, and the addition of PC solution containing lithium trifluoride domains the conductivity of the cross-linked polymer. The unique – Si–O– chain of silicone rubber plays a key role in the excellent stability and weather resistance of the silicone rubber, who still maintains good conductivity after exposing outdoors for one month. In addition, our rubber works well within a very large temperature range (−50 °C - 120 °C), which greatly extends the potential applications of gel-based wearable devices. Most significantly, our silicone rubber is 3D printable, which drastically shorten the fabrication time for high-precision complex 3D structures to further enhance the sensitivity of wearable devices. The present study provides the feasibility of making durable and weather-resistant wearable devices working in harsh environment

Magnesium-Based Metasurfaces for Dual-Function Switching between Dynamic Holography and Dynamic Color Display

Metasurface-based color display and holography have greatly advanced the state of the art display technologies. To further enrich the metasurface functionalities, recently a lot of research endeavors have been made to combine these two display functions within a single device. However, so far such metasurfaces have remained static and lack tunability once the devices are fabricated. In this work, we demonstrate a dynamic dual-function metasurface device at visible frequencies. It allows for switching between dynamic holography and dynamic color display, taking advantage of the reversible phase transition of magnesium through hydrogenation and dehydrogenation. Spatially arranged stepwise nanocavity pixels are employed to accurately control the amplitude and phase of light, enabling the generation of high-quality color prints and holograms. Our work represents a paradigm toward compact and multifunctional optical elements for future display technologies
