New developments in the field of micromanufacturing are detailed in Assistant Professor Seok Kim’s new paper, “Microassembly of Heterogeneous Materials Using Transfer Printing and Thermal Processing,” published this week by Scientific Reports. Kim’s work introduces a new level of microassembly (termed ‘micro-LEGO’) that involves multiple materials. Previous techniques of micro-masonry—a field in which Kim is a leading scientist—only allowed a single material to be assembled at a time, building upon each other with reversible dry adhesives.
