In this Review, we provide an overview of nanoprinting technologies for optical metasurfaces, examining how challenges are addressed in pattern fidelity, throughput and compatibility with diverse optical materials. Recent advances have extended the range of materials beyond polymers to include nanoparticle-embedded resins, sol–gel oxides, active materials and quantum dots, enabling new optical functions and reconfigurability. We also highlight how nanoprinting is driving the development of optical metasurfaces in both vertical integration and large-area parallel fabrication. Finally, we outline promising research directions, including applications in waveguides, artificial-intelligence-driven inverse design and sustainable material systems. By bridging innovation in materials science with scalable nanofabrication techniques, nanoprinting holds potential as a key enabler for next-generation flat optics. Nanoprinting is a powerful fabrication strategy for scalable, high-resolution optical metasurfaces made from a diverse range of materials.

{"title":"Scaling electrocatalysts for reduction of CO2 or CO to multicarbon products","authors":"Hyun Sik Moon, Shaffiq A. Jaffer, Rui Kai Miao, Edward H. Sargent, David Sinton","doi":"10.1038/s41578-025-00875-2","DOIUrl":"10.1038/s41578-025-00875-2","url":null,"abstract":"Electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2R) to multicarbon (C2+) products can reduce the carbon intensity of both chemicals and fuels. Although laboratory-scale demonstrations now achieve encouraging selectivities and current densities on the square centimetre scale using milligrams of catalyst, industrial implementation demands electrodes on the square metre scale and more than 10 grams of catalyst per electrolyser. Replacing just 2% or so of fossil-based ethylene globally would require about 10 tonnes of catalyst annually, making scalability in material production as essential as electrochemical efficiency. Scaling C2+ production introduces distinct challenges, as Cu-based catalysts show structure-sensitive selectivity, necessitating precise integration with electrodes. In this Perspective, we evaluate current strategies for catalyst–electrode integration — nanoparticle catalyst deposition, electrodeposition and sputtering — and argue that electrodeposition and sputtering will be constrained in scalability by throughput and substrate limitations. In contrast, nanoparticle deposition — pre-synthesizing nanoparticles and coating them onto electrodes — combines structural tunability with compatibility for high-throughput roll-to-roll processing, as demonstrated in large-scale manufacturing for fuel cells, water electrolysers and batteries. Building on evidence from the literature, we propose a workflow connecting scalable catalyst synthesis to continuous coating. We further advocate establishing catalyst production throughput (for example, grams per hour) as a benchmark alongside conventional electrochemical performance metrics. We highlight catalyst stability and uniform, high-speed ink coating processes as top research priorities for gigawatt-scale CO2R-to-C2+ products. Electrochemical CO2 and CO reduction to multicarbon products is a promising low-carbon pathway, but industrial deployment requires catalyst and electrode manufacturing far beyond laboratory scales. This Perspective evaluates scalable catalyst–electrode integration and outlines a workflow from nanoparticle synthesis to roll-to-roll coating for gigawatt-scale electrolysis.","PeriodicalId":19081,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Materials","volume":"11 3","pages":"244-254"},"PeriodicalIF":86.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145903474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are at the root of the propagation of sound and elastic waves, as well as of thermal phenomena, which are pervasive in our everyday life and in many technologies. The fundamental understanding and control of phonon responses in natural and artificial media are key in the context of communications, isolation, energy harvesting and control, sensing and imaging. It has recently been realized that controlling different symmetry classes at the microscopic and mesoscopic scales in synthetic media offers a powerful tool to precisely tailor phononic responses for advanced acoustic and elastodynamic wave control. In this Review, we survey the recent progress in the design and synthesis of artificial phononic media, namely phononic crystals and metamaterials, guided by symmetry principles. Starting from tailored broken spatial symmetries, we discuss their interplay with time symmetries for non-reciprocal and non-conservative phenomena. We also address broader concepts that combine multiple symmetry classes to induce exotic phononic wave transport. We conclude with an outlook on future research directions based on symmetry engineering for the advanced control of phononic waves. Broken and tailored symmetries have a fundamental role in wave phenomena and their applications. This Review surveys the recent progress in the domain of artificial phononic media with an emphasis on the role of symmetry breaking, in both space and time, for advanced wave phenomena.","PeriodicalId":19081,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Materials","volume":"11 2","pages":"156-180"},"PeriodicalIF":86.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145771121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
