Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The Muscle–tendon complex (MTC)‐inspired Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) artificial muscle integrates actuation (efferent) and proprioceptive sensing (afferent) by combining contractile nematic and elastic isotropic LCEs within a single soft structure. Embedded liquid metal channels enable simultaneous Joule heating and real‐time sensing of length and ...

Differential diagnosis of periapical cyst using collagen birefringence pattern of the cyst wall
Restorative Dentistry & Endodontics, 2017 Objectives Periapical lesions, including periapical cyst (PC), periapical granuloma (PG), and periapical abscess (PA), are frequently affected by chemical/physical damage during root canal treatment or severe bacterial infection, and thus, the ...

Overcoming Material Incompatibility via 2D Free‐Surface Engineering
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A scalable post‐epitaxial strategy introduces a sub‐nanometric 2D free surface (2DFS) at the heterointerface, effectively decoupling lattice‐mismatched layers. This process significantly reduces strain‐driven defects and dislocation density in Ge/Si heterostructures. The resulting bulk‐like material quality, validated by advanced microscopy and optical

Colossal Cryogenic Electro‐Optic Response Through Metastability in Strained BaTiO3 Thin Films
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Utilizing the thermodynamic theory of optical properties, a colossal cryogenic electro‐optic response in BaTiO3 thin films is designed and demonstrated by stabilizing a low symmetry metastable monoclinic phase via epitaxial strain tuning with an electro‐optic response reaching ≈2516 pm V−1 at 5 K. This approach represents a new paradigm for engineering

Monitoring the Etching Process of Hi-Bi Fiber Through a Fiber Loop Mirror
IEEE Photonics Journal, 2017 A method for monitoring the etching process of Hi-Bi fiber is proposed and demonstrated. The birefringence of the etching fiber is accurately calculated by tracking the shift of the interference spectrum in a high-birefringence fiber loop mirror ...
