Oxygen‐Controlled Structural and Defect Engineering of Magnetron‐Sputtered ZnO Thin Films for Photosensing

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Zinc oxide thin films are engineered by controlling oxygen flow and nominal partial pressure during growth to tune atomic‐scale defects and crystallographic texture that limit device performance. By balancing competing defects, the films achieve improved preferential c‐axis orientation and enhanced ultraviolet photoresponse.

Programmable Variable‐Stiffness Multilayer Elastomer Composites With High‐Aspect‐Ratio Low‐Melting‐Point Alloy Inclusions

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
High‐aspect‐ratio low‐melting‐point alloy inclusions are embedded within multilayer silicone laminates to create thermally programmable stiffness. Sequential activation of alloy‐rich layers produces four distinct mechanical states and reconfigures tendon‐driven actuator trajectories under the same load.

Liquid Crystal Elastomer Actuator Matrix for Large Area Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A scalable approach is used to manufacture a digitally‐controllable, 2D 5 × 5 actuator matrix. The elements of the matrix are produced by direct ink writing of a liquid crystal elastomer ‘artificial muscle’ on large‐area flexible thin‐film heaters. In optimizing the low‐power actuators, multiple heater designs and substrate materials are investigated ...
