Abstract:Insects such as ants and termites have always been a common household hazard, closely correlated to various health risks causing allergies or infections. Present‐day chemical insecticides pose carcinogenic threats to human health and the environment, according to the World Health Organisation. Herein, a novel autonomous robotic ultrathin laser‐scribed microheater is presented as a safe, efficient, and cost‐effective alternative for insect control. A microheater is fabricated using an array of laser‐scribed mic… Show more
