Congratulations to Luyang Liu for publishing paper on Small!

May 17, 2024 Congratulations to Luyang Liu for publishing paper on Small. This study introduces a novel approach for creating Nd:YAG ceramics with 3D free-form structures from micron (∼70 µm) to centimeter scales. Firstly, sol-gel synthesis is employed to form photocurable colloidal solutions. Subsequently, by utilizing a home-built micro-continuous liquid interface printing process, precursors are…
