Caption: Concept of the optofluidic 3D micro- and nanofabrication. a, Schematic illustration of the optofluidic 3D micro- and nanofabrication process, in which a localized temperature gradient induced by a femtosecond laser heating generates a strong convective flow, guiding the 3D assembly of micro- and nanoparticles within a confined hollow 3D microtemplate, printed by 2PP. b,c, Scanning electron images (SEM) of a SiO2 colloidal-particle-assembled microcube. d,e, SEM images of a dangling croissant-shaped microstructure with a 3D curved surface assembled from SiO2 particles.
