  • Fabrication of microparticles exhibiting 15 anisotropic dimensions, including physical, chemical, and surface patterning attributes.

Main Results:

  • Demonstration of microparticles with controlled miniaturization below 1 µm and molecular patterns below 1 µm².
  • Development of microparticles capable of pH detection and serving as a DNA-assay recognition platform.
  • Achieved extraordinary volumetric barcoding density up to 1093 codes µm⁻³.

Conclusions:

  • The novel fabrication strategy enables precise control over microparticle anisotropy across multiple dimensions.
  • These advanced microparticles hold significant potential for applications in biosensing, diagnostics, and high-density data storage.
