A strain‐activated mechanical metamaterial is developed to achieve programmable dual‐phase stiffness through an intrinsic geometric locking mechanism. Finite element modeling and parametric analysis identify the key design parameters governing activation strain, stiffness transition, and energy absorption.

Deterministic Integration of Quantum Emitters and Optical Cavities in a Van Der Waals Crystal
The work demonstrates fabrication of Circular Bragg Grating (CBG) cavities with embedded emitters in hBN. The cavities are fabricated around a pre‐characterised quantum emitter. The integrated platform enables light matter interaction and access to brighter emitters and spins in hBN.

Phonon Polariton Confinement in Isotopically Pure MOVPE‐Grown BN Triangles
Phonon polaritons are confined in MOVPE‐grown isotopically pure 10BN$^{10}{\rm BN}$ triangles. The resonator modes are excited and mapped by near‐field spectroscopy. Through scanning a wide infrared frequency range and modeling, the polariton dispersion relation is retrieved.

Photodoping in Wide‐Bandgap Perovskite Solar Cells With MXenes
Ultrafast tandem spectroscopy and DFT modeling reveal the separate dynamics and the imbalance of electrons and holes in wide bandgap perovskite solar cells with MXene incorporation. The enhanced photoconversion performances of the devices are traced to photodoping, with selective hole trapping and suppressed recombination of electrons.

Microfabrication using nano‐ to micron‐sized blocks has transformative potential for next‐gen electronics, optoelectronics, and materials. Traditional methods are limited by scalability and precision. STIC, a single‐laser system for precise colloid manipulation and immobilization using femtosecond lasers, is introduced that enables efficient 3D ...
