Microscopic geared metamachines - Nature Communications Miniaturizing mechanical machines is crucial for advancing nanotechnology. Here, authors present microscopic gear trains and micromachines powered by light-driven metasurfaces, achieving precise sub-micrometer control and sizes down to 10 μm. Their on-chip fabrication enables seamless integration and parallelization, offering new possibilities for micro- and nanoscale systems

Light-powered gears: mechanics at the scale of a human hair!

Our latest work recently published in Nature Communications.

Congratulations to Gan Wang and the whole team for this breakthrough!

Welcome to anything boost the European research and innovation capacity!

BUT the elephant in the room:

Grant success rates need be in the 20-30% to ensure the longterm viability of the EU research ecosystem ensuring all top-notch projects are funded…

This is needed both nationally and EU-wide…
