🔬 In this article, we present a breakthrough 5,14-NMI-Cz photoinitiator that enables visible-light and near-infrared (NIR)-activated 3D printing and microfabrication - including using the popular 1064 nm lasers.

✨ Why is this discovery groundbreaking?
✅ Lower energy consumption - polymerization with less light power
✅ Broad spectrum - from UV to infrared
✅ Ultra-precision - creation of submicron structures in one- and two-photon polymerization
✅ New possibilities - microstructures, microholography, fluorescence anti-precipitation
