Photoactive Tweezers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A photoactive tweezers system based on photoactive colloids is developed and systematically investigated in this study. Through experimental and theoretical methods, we demonstrate that the photoredox reaction catalyzed by a dye‐sensitized TiO2 particle generates a strong positive phototaxis, enabling self‐entrapment in the beam center.

In Situ Change in Contact Angle of a Sessile Droplet on a Magnetoactive Elastomer

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Contact angles of persistent μL$\mu{\rm L}$‐sized water droplets on a mechanically soft MAE surface under time varying magnetic fields differ from those of newly deposited droplets. The ability to quickly alter the material properties allows one to observe intriguing droplet‐material interactions.
