Rapid and facile creation of three-dimensional (3D) microcoils array in a "lab-on-a-chip" platform is a big challenge in micromachining. Here we report a method based on an improved femtosecond-laser wet-etch (FLWE) technology and metal-microsolidifying process for the fabrication of 3D microcoils array inside fused silica. Based on this approach, we fabricated microcoil arrays such as 3×3 O-shaped microcoils array and 4×4 liner microcoils array. By injecting high-melting-point alloy, the electrocircuit of microcoils array can hardly be disconnected. The microcoils array also exhibits good uniformity and a high integration level. It shows promise as a real application device.

Micromagnetic stimulation (μMS) using small, implantable microcoils is a promising method for achieving neuronal activation with high spatial resolution and low toxicity. Herein, we report a microcoil array for localized activation of cortical neurons and retinal ganglion cells. We developed a computational model to relate the electric field gradient (activating function) to the geometry and arrangement of microcoils, and selected a design that produced an anisotropic region of activation <50 μm wide.

Hyperpolarized carbon-13 labeled compounds are increasingly being used in medical MR imaging (MRI) and MR imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS) research, due to its ability to monitor tissue and cell metabolism in real-time. Although radiological biomarkers are increasingly being considered as clinical indicators, biopsies are still considered the gold standard for a large variety of indications. Bioreactor systems can play an important role in biopsy examinations because of their ability to provide a physiochemical environment that is conducive for therapeutic response monitoring ex vivo.

We designed and fabricated a sub-THz metamaterial absorber based on metal microcoils embedded and periodically arranged in a dielectric substrate. The microcoil parameters were optimized by calculating the electromagnetic response of the metamaterial using finite element analysis.

The passive micro-magnetic stimulation (MS) devices typically consist of an external transmitting coil and a single internal micro-coil, which enables a point-to-point energy supply from the external coil to the internal coil and the realization of magnetic neuromodulation via wireless energy transmission. The internal array of micro coils can achieve multi-target stimulation without movement, which improves the focus and effectiveness of magnetic stimulations. However, achieving a free selection of an appropriate external coil to deliver energy to a particular internal array of micro-coils for multiple stimulation targets has been challenging.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a powerful technique with applications ranging from small molecule structure elucidation to metabolomics studies of living organisms. Typically, solution-state NMR requires a homogeneous liquid, and the whole sample is analyzed as a single entity. While adequate for homogeneous samples, such an approach is limited if the composition varies as would be the case in samples that are naturally heterogeneous or layered.
