Monolithic Opto‐Acoustic Synesthetic Transduction of Color and Sound in a Single Chiral Liquid Crystal Elastomer

Small, EarlyView.
Monolithic cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers simultaneously generate color and sound under electrically programmed stimuli. Low‐frequency electric fields modulate the helical pitch to produce tunable structural colors, while high‐frequency excitation induces membrane vibration for acoustic emission.

Monolithic UV‐Laser Programming of Photothermally Meta‐Morphing SMA Structures: Dual‐Encoded Kirigami Mechanics and Photonic Absorbance

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 31, 4 June 2026.
A monolithic manufacturing strategy is presented for photothermal shape memory alloy (SMA) meta‐morphing structures. Using a single‐step UV‐laser process, the mechanical compliance is programmed via kirigami patterning while optical absorbance is simultaneously tuned through surface oxidation.

A Wood Plasticine With Controlled Phase‐Change Behavior and Malleability for Energy‐Closed‐Loop and Conformally Adaptive Thermal Management

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 32, 9 June 2026.
A photothermal wood plasticine exhibiting controlled phase‐change behavior and malleable property is developed. The developed wood plasticine can provide all‐day, on‐demand, and low‐loss solar heating for geometrically diverse objects, including thermoelectric generator, human body, and battery, through its controlled crystallization‐melting ...
