Kavli Affiliate: Ralf Heilmann | Summary:Stress-induced shaping, which deforms thin substrates utilizing stressed surface coatings, has enabled and enhanced a host of applications in past decades. Owing to the touchless fabrication process compatible with modern planar technology, the method has been applied from microscale to macroscale applications such as self-assembled micro-structures and space mirrors. However, […]
