AI‐Optimized Vanadium Oxide Multilayers for More Than 20‐fold Enhancement in Bolometric Performance
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Machine‐learning‐optimized WxV1‐xOy multilayer thin films with graded doping achieve a high TCR (7.3 % K−1), reduced hysteresis, and low noise under CMOS‐compatible growth conditions. This approach overcomes the long‐standing trade‐off in microbolometers between linear response and performance, offering a universal bolometric parameter greatly enhanced

Miniature Robotic Swimmer with Precise 2D Motion Control via Acoustic Vortex‐Induced Propulsion
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In this work, a miniature robotic swimmer achieves precise 2D motion using sound waves with customized 3D‐printed lenses. Localized acoustic vortices drive both translation and rotation of the swimmer without mechanical parts. This contactless approach offers a novel route to controlled micro‐scale movement, with promising applications in biomedical ...

Helix Alignment, Chevrons, and Edge Dislocations in Twist‐Bend Ferroelectric Nematics
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The recently discovered twist‐bend ferroelectric nematic (NTBF) is the new member of the multiferroic family, representing a fluid with an oblique helicoidal (heliconical) periodic structure of spontaneous electric polarization. The work presents a thorough exploration of the material properties of this phase, how the periodic modulation of ...
