??Webinar Announcement ?? Join us on October 17th for an insightful ESAO European Society for Artificial Organs session with Prof. Kerem Pekkan where he'll present our latest research on "Patient-Specific Right-Ventricle Assist Devices Without External Power". Right heart failure is an increasing concern, with approximately 35% of patients using LVAD developing right heart failure due to the non-physiological compatibility of existing devices. To address this, we’ve developed algorithms that automatically generate patient-specific VAD designs. With advances in 3D printing, our goal is to become pioneers in delivering tailored VADs to significantly improve patient outcomes and quality of life. This will be a game-changer for those facing right ventricular failure! Don't miss this chance to discover the future of patient-specific VAD technology and how our innovative solutions can transform lives. ?? Date: October 17, 2024 ? Place&Time: Zoom, 12.00PM CEST ?? Register here: https://lnkd.in/gwudrXU6 We look forward to having you join us!

How to achieve high-level integration of composite micro-nano structures with different structural characteristics through a minimalist and universal process? In #IJEM, Prof. Jianrong Qiu and Prof. Min Gu et al. revealed a controllable ultrafast laser-induced focal volume light field and experimentally succeeded in highly efficient one-step composite structuring in multiple transparent solids based on focal volume optical printing. Their work introduced a highly universal all-optical method for fabricating composite micro-nanostructures in various transparent solids with independent controllability in multiple degrees of freedom, and expanded the current cognition of ultrafast laser-based material modification in transparent solids. Prof. Jianrong Qiu remarked, "It would be exciting to combine our approach with spatial light modulation technologies, novel photoelectric materials, and intelligent path planning methods to develop a highly generalized strategy to achieve functional photonic elements at the on-demand position in various transparent dielectrics, empowering the construction of next-generation all-inorganic integrated optical systems. "This is fertile ground that deserves more research work in the future." ??
