Strong, lightweight, superelastic, and able to function across a range of temperatures, this newly developed alloy could be a game-changer for space exploration and medical technology.

How can the shrinkage of the interconnection interface resulting from the surface tension at heterogeneous nanomaterials be suppressed? Hui Wan and coworkers from Wuhan University demonstrated a laser-induced thermocompression bonding strategy in IJEM and successfully bonded Cu nanowires with a diameter of 200 nm to Au pads. Their work represents an important step towards interconnect packaging and integration of nanodevices.

Researchers from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) have made a groundbreaking advancement in terahertz (THz) detection, enabling ultra-broadband and scanning-free detection of THz waveforms. This innovation paves the way for faster and more efficient analysis of high-energy, low-repetition-rate THz pulses, with broad applications in material science and extreme nonlinear spectroscopy.

Novel protein cage system can control and visualize orientational changes in aromatic side chains upon ligand binding, as reported by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo. By inducing coordinated molecular changes, this approach enables precise control over protein dynamics while also enhancing fluorescence properties. Their breakthrough could lead to applications in biomolecular robotics, drug delivery, and advancing the development of responsive biomaterials.

In a recent issue of the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, Hongbo Lan and his team from Qingdao University of Technology published a review article on multi-nozzle electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing.

Multi-nozzle EHD printing is poised to become the most promising technology for the industrial production of micro/nano-scale devices on flexible substrates. Their work provides a comprehensive summary of nearly 20 years of research on this technology, establishing a solid foundation for the industrial fabrication of flexible nanodevices.
