Millifluidic Synthesis of Core–Shell Resonators For Tunable Sonic BandGaps in Acoustic Metamaterials
Millimeter‐scale core–shell acoustic resonators are fabricated by a gravity‐assisted dripping approach and incorporated into epoxy composites at controlled volume fractions. The resulting alumina–core resonator composites show tunable low‐frequency acoustic attenuation, demonstrating a scalable route for integrating locally resonant metamaterial units ...

Hierarchically Wrinkled Silver Ink as a Platform for Fully Integrated Stretchable Electronic Systems
Silver Hierarchical Responsive ink (SHRink), a universal approach for the fabrication of highly stretchable interconnects, wirings, and skin‐interfaced electrodes, is realized through low‐cost, scalable spray‐printing and transfer‐printing. The SHRink demonstrates high electrical conductivity (1.2E04 S cm−1) and large stretchability (235% max fracture ...

Zero‐Waste Manufacturing of Ophthalmic Lenses by Direct Fluidic Shaping in Arbitrary Domains
Conventional ophthalmic lens manufacturing discards up to 97% of material through subtractive processes. The Cookie Cutter algorithm extends Fluidic Shaping to arbitrary rim geometries. The framework prescribes a spatially varying boundary height that, under neutral buoyancy and surface tension, shapes curable polymer into spherocylindrical lenses that

Angled Nozzle Aerosol Jet Printing to Streamline Conformal Patterning of Electronics
A modular, angled aerosol jet printhead is demonstrated to streamline patterning on nonplanar surfaces, including 90° step edges and confined internal geometries. A detailed analysis of gravitational settling for a sheathed aerosol flow and deconvolution of oblique deposition and gravitational effects supports the versatility of this approach for ...

Low‐Outgassing Liquid Metal–Silicone Composites for Multifunctional Space Applications
Integrating liquid metal microdroplets into a space‐grade silicone creates a multifunctional composite while preserving its inherent flexibility and low‐outgassing behavior. The composite has 11×$\times$ higher thermal conductivity while remaining thermally stable and maintaining a total mass loss of ≤$\le$ 1% under thermal vacuum testing.
