A new Cluster publication with the participation of seven Cluster PIs provides a nice overview of 3D architected pyrolytic carbon produced by additive micro- and nanomanufacturing. The review by first author Yolita Eggeler discusses the recent advances in the additive manufacturing of 3D pyrolytic carbon structures and the different techniques that can be used to produce them. It also discusses the properties of 3D pyrolytic carbon structures and the applications of this highly porous, high-performance material in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, energy, and biomedicine.
