Challenges in laser micro/nano fabrications over the next 10 years

  • Surface texturing (metals, semiconductors, ceramic and plastic): Metal wettability change with time – mechanisms (mixed effect of micro/nanostructures, carbon/oxide and charging effects);
  • Super-resolution and far field nano-imaging: Active 3D meta-materials;
  • Laser tuning of chemical reactions;
  • Other 2D materials: Hybrid 2D materials and PLD etc.;
  • Laser cold processing;
  • Large scale micro/nanostructures fabrication;
  • Super-capacitor;
  • Cold Graphene deposition;
  • Fast charging battery;
  • Multi-wavelength interference with white light laser nano-lithography;
  • Laser nano-welding of metallic NPs.
