3D laser nano-printing of rationally designed materials — •Martin Wegener — Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany

Broadly speaking, 3D structures and materials can be designed by using the human brain, computer-based (topology) optimization, or inspiration from nature. Regardless of how a 3D blueprint has been obtained, it eventually needs to be manufactured. 3D laser printing on the micro- and nanometer scale has become a versatile and reliable workhorse for accomplishing this task. Here, we review recent examples from our group. This includes micropolar metamaterials with behavior beyond ordinary continuum mechanics, metamaterials with effectively negative thermal expansion from positive constituents, and electrical metamaterials with unusual direction and sign of the Hall voltage.
