Green fuel-driven thumb sized motors (TSM) were designed and optimized by 3D printing to explore their in-situ remediation applications in rare studied underwater area. Combined with areogel processing and specialized bacteria domestication, each tiny TSM could realize large area pollutant treatment precisely in an impressive half-automatically manner.

A self-propulsion Janus gallium (Ga)/magnesium (Mg) bimetallic micromotor is designed with favorable biocompatibility and antimicrobial properties as a therapeutic strategy for periodontitis. The Janus Ga/Mg micromotors are fabricated by microcontact printing technique to asymmetrically modify liquid metallic gallium onto magnesium microspheres. Hydrogen bubbles produced by the magnesium-water reaction can provide the driving performance of up to 31.

The realization of 3D patterned metal layers with manipulable surface wettability has significant potential, especially in integrating microelectronics with weather resistance and multifunctional liquid manipulation. However, developing a facile and efficient method to bring it to fruition remains a great challenge. In this work, we proposed a novel 3D selective metallization strategy that combines stereolithography 3D printing with laser-induced selective metallization (LISM).

Electrohydrodynamic printing holds both ultrahigh-resolution fabrication capability and unmatched ink-viscosity compatibility yet fails on highly insulating thick/irregular substrates. Herein, we proposed a single-potential driven electrohydrodynamic printing process with submicrometer resolution on arbitrary nonconductive targets, regardless of their geometric shape or sizes, via precoating with an ultrathin dielectric nanoparticle layer. Benefiting from the favorable Maxwell-Wagner polarization, the reversely polarized spot brought about a significant drop (∼57% for ceramics) in the operation voltage as its induced electric field and a negligible residual charge accumulation.

Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing is a rapid prototyping technique and reproducible manufacturing platform, which makes it a useful tool to develop advanced microfluidic devices for bioanalytical applications. However, limited information exists regarding the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the photocured polymers printed with SLA. This study demonstrates the characterization of a commercially available SLA 3D printed polymer to evaluate the potential presence of any time-dependent changes in material properties that may affect its ability to produce functional, capillary-action microfluidic devices.

Due to the excessive contamination of heavy metals pollution, it is very urgent and necessary to develop a real-time detection method for the heavy metals in food. As a target sensing device, a paper-based microfluidic device (μPAD) has the advantages of simplicity, low-cost, and portability. In this study, a self-driven microfluidic paper-based chip was first developed for the simultaneous detection of four targets.
