Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Single‐filament material extrusion enables spatial stiffness programming through locally controlled thermal foaming of TPU. A data‐driven G‐code framework tunes porosity from 15.7% to 40.7% and hardness from 90 to 63 Shore A within and across layers. Monolithic hands and soft actuators consequently achieve distinct programmed motions without material ...

Rigid Boron‐Fused Frameworks for Efficient Near‐Infrared Emission and Optical Gain Beyond 900 nm
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Multiple‐resonance (MR)‐derived boron‐fused frameworks were integrated into narrow‐gap, long‐range charge‐transfer emitters to reduce structural relaxation and electron‐vibrational coupling. This strategy significantly decreases nonradiative losses, leading to improved near‐infrared (NIR) luminescence efficiency and low‐threshold amplified spontaneous ...
