Meniscus‐Guided Soft‐Lithographic Assembly of Grid‐Type Molecular Martensite Films for Single‐Crystal‐Like Actuation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A meniscus‐guided microtransfer molding strategy enables scalable fabrication of grid‐type molecular martensite films with b‐axis‐correlated preferential texture. Sequential growth across microchannel intersections creates structurally continuous grids and robust thermoelastic actuation (∼11% strain, > 50 cycles, maximum force density: 7.1 × 109 N m−3).

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

In situ stress state from walkaround VSP anisotropy in the Kumano basin southeast of the Kii Peninsula, Japan

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2011
To reveal the stress state within the Kumano basin, which overlies the Nankai accretionary prism, we estimated seismic anisotropy from walkaround vertical seismic profiling (VSP) data recorded at Site C0009 during Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP)

Sky‐Directional Radiative Cooling Meta‐Films for Daylighting Windows

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A geometry‐mediated microprism meta‐film enables transparent, sky‐directional radiative cooling for daylighting windows. By decoupling control of visible transmittance from mid‐infrared emissivity, ground‐emitted heat absorption is suppressed while skyward heat dissipation is enhanced.

Opportunities of Semiconducting Oxide Nanostructures as Advanced Luminescent Materials in Photonics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The review discusses the challenges of wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconducting oxides as a suitable material platform for photonics. They offer great versatility in terms of tuning microstructure, native defects, doping, anisotropy, and micro‐ and nano‐structuring. The review focuses on their light emission, light‐confinement in optical cavities, and

Anisotropy and Deformation Processes in Southern California From Rotational Observations

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Seismic anisotropy in the upper mantle reveals geodynamic processes and the tectonic evolution of the Earth. The two most powerful methods, surface wave tomography, and shear‐wave splitting observations, cannot investigate the deep local anisotropy with ...

Azobenzene's Cross‐Scale Optics and Photonics: Molecular Photoswitching, Mesoscopic Material Motions, and Adaptive Devices

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Azobenzene photoswitches translate molecular‐scale E/Z photoisomerization into macroscopic material responses and device‐level photonic functions. This Review highlights how azobenzene research has evolved from molecular photochemistry to photoalignment, mass migration, photomechanics, and heat release, ultimately enabling holography, reconfigurable ...

Azimuthal Seismic Anisotropy in the Upper Crust of the Japanese Islands Induced by the 2011 Tohoku‐Oki Megathrust Earthquake

Geophysical Research Letters, 2018
We investigated VP/VS changes in the upper crust of the Japanese islands after the 2011 MW9.0 Tohoku‐Oki megathrust earthquake. Abrupt VP/VS changes with azimuth‐dependent variations were observed after the megathrust earthquake. The VP/VS changes ranged
