In this new publication, Cluster Doctoral Researchers Philipp Mainik and Jonathan L. G. Schneider, Principal Investigators Martin Wegener and Eva Blasco, along with Christoph A. Spiegel, present a new class of deep eutectic inks (DEIs) for multiphoton 3D laser microprinting. These inks enable the production of highly elastic and responsive microstructures with high spatial resolution and mechanical tunability. The innovative formulation combines excellent printability with minimal crosslinking, overcoming the limitations of traditional soft material inks. This advancement opens new possibilities for applications in soft robotics, bioengineering, photonics, and flexible microdevices.
