Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Spherical liquid crystal polymer microlasers with a bipolar configuration confine lasing to a single equatorial plane, allowing precise control over where the laser emission is generated. The anisotropic refractive index profile additionally lifts the energy degeneracy of azimuthal whispering gallery modes, which causes a characteristic splitting into ...

Linear and Nonlinear Optical Tuning With Sb2S3‐Based Metasurfaces
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Sb2S3${\rm Sb}_2{\rm S}_3$ resonant metasurfaces provide large, reconfigurable optical modulation and tunable enhanced nonlinear emission across telecommunication wavelengths. Monolithic structures achieve 92% transmission modulation and 150 nm resonance tuning, while hybridization with silicon enables strong modulation at nearly half the switching ...

Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a
