A Versatile‐Designable Framework for Active and Programmable Shape‐Morphing Soft Matter Systems: From Inverse Design to Closed‐Loop Control

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A versatile framework integrates addressable electrothermal actuation and strain‐constraint mechanisms to construct programmable shape‐morphing soft matter systems. By combining an analytical inverse design strategy for high‐fidelity 3D surface reconstruction with deep learning‐based closed‐loop control, this approach enables zero‐energy shape locking,

Geometry‐Encoded Actuation as a Structural Interaction Layer in Origami Robots

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present geometry‐encoded actuation (GEA), a design framework that integrates multistable origami with liquid crystal elastomer actuators to encode environmental interactions into autonomous structural responses. GEA enables programmable shape transformation without continuous sensing or complex control, achieving robust adaptive manipulation and ...

Anisotropic Mechano‐Optical Properties of Chiral Nematic Liquid Crystal Elastomers with Uniaxial In‐Plane Helical‐Axis Alignment

Small Structures
This study investigates the mechano‐optical properties of chiral nematic liquid crystal (N* LC) elastomers with a uniaxial in‐plane helical‐axis alignment. We fabricate a freestanding N* LC elastomer by using a recently reported method.
