Low‐Profile, High‐Gain GRIN RF Lenses via Multi‐Material Vat Photopolymerization
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We investigate the opportunity of leveraging multi‐material vat photopolymerization printing to manufacture intricate lenses exhibiting permittivity gradients that can increase signal gain in transmitted radiofrequency signals in the X‐ and Ku‐bands. Lenses produced with more distinct low‐loss materials (up to 5) can deliver an 18 dB signal gain with a

Progressive VAT? The redistributive effects of VAT rate differentiation
, 2018 VAT is normally considered to have regressive distributional effects on income distribution. Many countries try to address distributional concerns with rate differentiation. Based on Swiss data we find that both the existing VAT as well as a revenue-neutral flat rate have no significant redistributive effects on the Gini coefficient.

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...
