Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Field‐programmed anisotropy imparts material‐level intelligence to soft composites. Magnetic torque dynamics drive magneto‐piezoelectric nanowires from random dispersion into deterministic axial alignment. The resulting hierarchical percolation networks confine electromechanical coupling to specific axes and intrinsically decouple superposed force ...

Above Room Temperature Ferroelectricity in Epitaxially Strained KTaO3
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Through precise epitaxial engineering, the cubic and paraelectric KTaO3${\rm KTaO}_3$ is transformed into a robust ferroelectric. By leveraging lattice‐mismatched substrates to apply controlled epitaxial strain, a stable ferroelectric ground‐state is achieved with a transition temperature as high as 475 K, establishing KTaO3${\rm KTaO}_3$ as a highly ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Ceramic‐based V2O5/Fe3O4 hybrid films are shaped into butterfly‐proboscis‐inspired microscroll actuators. Magnetic triggering initiates unrolling, while geometry‐programmed elastic strain energy drives rapid recoil, enabling fast, reversible, durable, and load‐bearing actuation under near‐field magnetic stimulation.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Direct nanoscratching with a 500 nm diamond lapping film creates groove‐guided liquid‐crystal alignment interfaces on PCB‐compatible Cu‐patterned RF substrates within minutes, eliminating polymer coating and high‐temperature baking. The coating‐free process enables optical/molecular alignment validation and voltage‐programmable 28 GHz reflection‐phase ...

From Molecular Design to Optical Anisotropy: Orientation Control in BODIPY Langmuir‐Blodgett Films
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.The supramolecular organization of amphiphilic boron‐dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes in Langmuir–Blodgett monolayers is shown to govern their optical anisotropy. By correlating nanoscale imaging and angle‐resolved spectroscopy, we reveal symmetry‐driven control of transition dipole orientation, enabling either in‐plane or out‐of‐plane optical responses ...

Geophysical Journal International, 2017 Seismic anisotropy is a powerful tool to constrain mantle deformation, but its existence in the deep upper mantle and topmost lower mantle is still uncertain. Recent results from higher mode Rayleigh waves have, however, revealed the presence of 1% azimuthal anisotropy between 300 km and 800 km depth, and changes in azimuthal anisotropy across the ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This article presents dielectric elastomer switch (DES) materials, based on composite thin films. Alignment of graphite flakes due to their physical confinement within the thin films lead to much stronger piezoresistive responses than bulk composites, while their durability exceeds that of conventional liquid‐based DES materials.
