Hyperuniform Disorder in Photonic Crystal Slabs With Intrinsic Non‐Hermiticity
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Light propagation in photonic crystal slabs with imposed hyperuniform disorder is investigated theoretically and numerically. The hyperuniform disorder is imposed by varying the hole size. The photonic crystal is intrinsically non‐Hermitian due to radiative loss, with non‐Hermiticity appearing as a complex effective mass of a quadratic photonic band ...

Strong Enhancement of Er3+ Emission at Room Temperature in Si3N4 Metasurfaces
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Erbium‐doped SiN metasurfaces are engineered to support Mie resonances at 1.55μm$1.55\text{}\mathrm{\mu}\mathrm{m}$, enhancing the local density of optical states and accelerating spontaneous emission. By optimizing nanocylinder radius and implantation depth, room‐temperature PL is increased about 18‐fold, while lifetime shortens by nearly an order of ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Amphiphilic chloroazobenzenes, bearing different amino acids as end groups alanine, phenylalanine, and valine, exhibit excellent photoisomerizations. Varying structures of three amino acid groups participate in supramolecular formations and therefore photoinduced morphological transformations via adjusting intermolecular interactions. These interaction

Liquid Crystalline Elastomers in Soft Robotics: Assessing Promise and Limitations
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) are programmable soft materials that undergo large, anisotropic deformation in response to external stimuli. Their molecular alignment encodes directional actuation in a monolithic structure, making them long‐standing candidates for soft robotic systems.
