Emerging technologies—such as 3D printing, quantum computing, and nano- electronic/photonic devices—hold great promise for improving daily lives. For nourishing these emerging technologies, Aerosol Intelligence Laboratory (AIL) sets a new research direction to map out the future of system-level integration and the advanced packaging solutions. “Aerosol” usually gives the first impression of smog, whereas our group transforms this stereotype into powerful nanomanufacturing technologies to create smart materials, to explore and to invent novel functionalities, and to address the design – or inverse – problem. Our key aims are to devise new physical-chemical schemes through printing functional materials and micro/nano-scale devices.
