Photochemical fluorescence activation in arrays of microspherical containers
Photoresponsive microdroplets can be produced with precise structural control from organic solutions of a photoactivatable fluorophore and aqueous solutions of a surfactant at a microfluidic cross junction. These dye‐doped microspheres assemble spontaneously in close‐packed arrays in aqueous media.

Laser‐Direct Printed 2D Material‐Based Heterostructure for the Fabrication of Electronic Devices
The Digital Laser‐Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT) approach is employed to pattern and stack 2D materials with micrometer‐scale precision. PdSe2 and MoSe2 are assembled into vertical p–n junctions, with graphene serving as a transparent electrode. The resulting laser‐transferred heterostructures exhibit high material quality and stable rectifying ...
