“…One can fabricate any desired shape and size of the cantilever where its resonant frequency can be geometrically tuned with our simple fabrication approach. Furthermore, the laser-processing should allow using even thinner glass to fabricate cantilevers, such as the one prepared by thermal stretching down to about ≤ 3 µm thickness 39 . Moreover, in our approach, the entire cantilever is deposited with nanodiamonds which could allow fluorescence detection at multiple places for specific applications.…”

The quantum properties of fluorescent nanodiamonds offer great promise for fabricating quantum-enabled devices for physical applications. However, the nanodiamonds need to be suitably combined with a substrate to exploit their properties. Here, we show that ultrathin and flexible glass (thickness 30 microns) can be functionalized by nanodiamonds and nano-shaped using intense femtosecond pulses to design cantilever-based nanomechanical hybrid quantum sensors. Thus fabricated ultrathin glass cantilevers show stable optical, electronic, and magnetic properties of nitrogen-vacancy centers including well-defined fluorescence with zero-phonon lines and optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) near 2.87 GHz. We demonstrate several sensing applications of the ultrathin glass cantilever by measuring acoustic pulses, external magnetic field, or CW laser-induced heating by measuring Zeeman splitting and thermal shifting of ODMR lines. This work demonstrates the suitability of the femtosecond-processed ultrathin glass as a new versatile substrate for multifunctional quantum devices.

“…[ 88 ] When the thickness is further reduced, glass substrates become highly bendable. For example, glass ribbon made by thermal drawing has achieved a present record of 3 µm in thickness, [ 89 ] leading to an achievable bending radius in the range of only a few hundred μm. Further thickness reduction to the sub‐μm range would enable glass substrates with a specific weight of <1 g m ‐ 2 , for example, such as in the specifications of the hypothetical light sail.…”

in terms of deciphering structure-property relationships and the nonaffine nature of glass mechanical behavior, of computational and computer-assisted methods for accelerated materials discovery, and of physicochemical insight at glass formation and synthesis in unconventional types of materials. Despite this progress, significant questions remain as to the fundamental role of structural heterogeneity and its consequences for the predictability of mechanical properties underlying the many applications of glass. Today's challenge is to translate new understanding of the physics of disorder, glass chemistry, and surface mechanics into tools that enable future glass products with adapted elasticity, strength, and toughness. We will therefore consider fundamental advances in relation to emerging glass applications. While the aforementioned physical insights have mostly been obtained by computational simulation of model systems, and often through the examination of metallic glasses, we will here focus on glasses suitable for visible transparency, in particular silicate glasses, such as a representative of today's most prolific glass devices, ranging from ultrathin substrates to strong and visually transparent cover materials. We will further consider hybrid glasses and glass-like composite materials as emerging alternatives that may overcome the ubiquitous conflict between strength and toughness. [1] Glasses are materials that lack a crystalline microstructure and long-range atomic order. Instead, they feature heterogeneity and disorder on superstructural scales, which have profound consequences for their elastic response, material strength, fracture toughness, and the characteristics of dynamic fracture. These structure-property relations present a rich field of study in fundamental glass physics and are also becoming increasingly important in the design of modern materials with improved mechanical performance. A first step in this direction involves glass-like materials that retain optical transparency and the haptics of classical glass products, while overcoming the limitations of brittleness. Among these, novel types of oxide glasses, hybrid glasses, phase-separated glasses, and bioinspired glass-polymer composites hold significant promise. Such materials are designed from the bottom-up, building on structure-property relations, modeling of stresses and strains at relevant length scales, and machine learning predictions. Their fabrication requires a more scientifically driven approach to materials design and processing, building on the physics of structural disorder and its consequences for structural rearrangements, defect initiation, and dynamic fracture in response to mechanical load. In this article, a perspective is provided on this highly interdisciplinary field of research in terms of its most recent challenges and opportunities.The ORCID identification number(s) for the author(s) of this article can be found under https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.202109029.
