Thermo‐Derived Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Elastomer Pattern with Composite Structural Colors
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.A thermochromic cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) oligomer was synthesized for the preparation of CLC elastomer (CLCE) films with dual reflection bands. Subsequently, a CLCE pattern with composite structural colors was prepared, which was suitably applied for decoration and anti‐counterfeiting.

Aerosol Jet Printed Polymer‐Free High Aspect Ratio Quantum Dot Films for Enhanced Color Conversion
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Polymer‐free quantum dot color conversion layers are aerosol jet printed at high aspect ratio by tuning the aerosol focus ratio to induce in‐flight droplet drying. Contact‐line pinning suppresses lateral spreading, enabling ∼10 µm‐thick films at ∼50 µm widths with blue light leakage below 0.25% and conversion efficiency approaching 18%, demonstrated ...

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

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.
