Abstract
The cover image presents a 3D printed 9-mm-height magnetically-active structure featuring intricate 3D shapes and fine (sub-75-μm) features. The strong magnetic interaction allows it to be suspended against gravity using a small magnet on the top. It was accomplished via the synergy of the optimization of magnetic photopolymerizable resin and the high-speed 3D printing using micro-continuous liquid interface production (μCLIP) process. Further details can be found in the article, number 1900911 by Longqiu Li, Cheng Sun, and co-workers.
