Bioinspired Adaptive Surfaces for Intelligent Liquid Manipulation: Progressing From Passive and Active to Hybrid Strategies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 56, 8 October 2026.
This review examines passive, active, and hybrid liquid manipulation strategies, highlighting hybrid approaches as an emerging route to reconcile energy efficiency with adaptive control. By actively reconstructing passive surfaces to store programmable interfacial energy, hybrid systems enable flexible yet low‐power liquid transport, with perspectives ...

Azobenzene-conjugated Propofol-derivatives for Light-control of GABA(A) Receptors in Vision Restoration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In many cases of retinal degeneration, the deterioration of photoreceptors leaves the downstream inner retinal neurons unstimulated, thus leading to vision loss. Re-initiating visual signaling by means of rendering photosensitivity to these inner retinal
