Light‐Driven Control of Polar Order in Ferroelectric Nematic Liquid Crystals

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Light‐responsive ferroelectric nematics are achieved by molecularly matching azobenzene photo‐switches to the polar packing motif of DIO. This design yields intrinsically photo‐responsive ferroelectric nematic mesogens and optically addressable DIO blends, in which light reversibly modulates spontaneous polarization and switches between high‐ and low ...

Mirror versus Inversion Symmetry Breaking in Mesogenic Dimers: NTB versus NF Phase

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Two non‐conventional nematic phases, twist‐bend NTB and ferroelectric NF, are observed within the same homologous series of dimers built of two strongly dipolar mesogenic units linked by a flexible spacer. The type of the phase formed depends on the molecular geometry, defined by parity of internal linkage.

Fast, Strong Capillary Liquid Metal Muscles

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Capillary liquid metal muscles (CLMMs) harness the exceptionally high and electrochemically tunable surface tension of gallium‐based liquid metals (e.g., EGaIn) to generate mechanical work. Confinement within microchannels maximizes surface‐energy conversion, enabling high force, ultrafast response (<25 ms), low‐voltage operation (<10 V), and ...
