EnergyBridge: Benchmarking Household Energy Management, User Participation, and Grid Flexibility

Residential virtual power plants (VPPs) can provide grid flexibility by shifting household demand, but physical flexibility becomes dependable capacity only when residents authorize a plan and the promised response is delivered. Existing benchmarks evaluate control but omit event-specific authorization. We present EnergyBridge, a benchmark and agent framework connecting capacity reporting, household authorization, and physical execution. It combines region-specific EnergyPlus environments for Tianjin and Berlin with an LLM-based User Participation Simulator. Against 584 persona- and event-matched human role-play judgments, the LLM-based User Participation Simulator preserves method ordering with a 5.3-point mean absolute acceptance error. Across conventional controllers and agent baselines, EnergyBridge achieves the highest simulated authorization, lowest event-window energy, and the most reliable capacity commitment in both regions. We release human data and codes for reproducible human-centered grid-flexibility research: https://github.com/Agentic-Intelligence-Lab/EnergyBridge.

Full-bandwidth, continuous, and grayscale 3D nanolithography via line-illumination temporal focusing of ultrafast lasers

Achieving fast and continuous fabrication of large-scale complex 3D structures is key to unlocking industrial-scale adoption of two-photon lithography (TPL). Despite substantial improvement in peak optical patterning rates enabled by recent parallel exposure strategies, the practical fabrication rate of TPL for large structures remains low. This gap is primarily attributed to the mismatched bandwidth among toolpath generation, data transferring, and laser patterning, and the stop-and-go operation for part stitching etc. Here, we present a line-illumination temporal focusing TPL (Line-TF TPL) solution that, for the first time, demonstrates true continuous 3D nanolithography with full-bandwidth data streaming, grayscale voxel tuning, and cost-effective large-scale fabrication capability. To achieve the goal, we use a digital micromirror device (DMD) to temporally focus femtosecond laser pulses into a programmable line with enhanced 3D resolution, pixel-level grayscale control, and a high-refresh rate (>10 kHz), realizing continuous fabrication at a hardware-limited maximum rate. Specifically, we fabricated centimeter-scale 3D structures with sub-diffraction features down to 75 nm laterally and 99 nm axially. Our method eliminates stitching defects by continuous scanning and grayscale stitching; and provides real-time pattern streaming at a bandwidth that is one order of magnitude higher than previous TPL systems. The line-scanning strategy also substantially lowers the pulse-energy requirement, hence the cost for parallel TPL; and maximizes the machine uptime through continuous operation, both of which are critical metrics for industrialization. Finally, we demonstrated centimeter-scale artworks, fine 3D features, and complex miniaturized optics, revealing the Line-TF TPL's large-scale application potential in photonic packaging, metamaterial discovery, and biomedicine.

Dynamic high efficiency 3D meta-holography in visible range with large frames number and high frame rate based on space division multiplexing design

Hologram is an ideal method for naked eye three-dimensional (3D) display, and computer-generated holography (CGH) makes it possible to reconstruct virtual objects. However, the large pixel size of common CGH devices results in shortages in the applications of hologram, such as narrow field of view, twin images, multi-diffraction orders, et al. Meanwhile, metasurfaces consisted of subwavelength structures show great potential in controlling of light which is suitable for hologram design. There are many inspired works to achieve dynamic meta-hologram as we summary in this paper. And it can be concluded that there is still not such a research work of meta-holography with high efficiency and good display quality in the visible range that can show smooth holographic videos with a large frames number and high frame rate. In current work, we demonstrate a new design of meta-holography in visible range based on space division multiplexing metasurface which can achieve 228 different holographic frames and a very high frame rate (maximum of frame rate, 9523 FPS). Also, the metasurface consists of silicon nitride (SiNx) nanopillars with high efficiency (more than 70%). This method can not only satisfy the needs of holographic display but also be suitable for many different research fields, such as laser fabrication, photolithography, 3D forming of two-photon polymerization and optics information processing, et al.
