Learning from bat: Aerodynamics of actively morphing wing
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2015 Different from birds and insects, bats have complex wing-deformation capacity to generate high aerodynamic forces. In flight, the actively morphing of bat wing includes the twisting from wing root to wing tip, the cambering along the chordwise direction,

From 0D to 3D liquid crystal elastomers architectures: Fabrications and applications
Responsive Materials, EarlyView.This review presents a dimension‐oriented overview of liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), highlighting their molecular alignment, fabrication strategies, and programmable deformations from 0D particles to 3D architectures. Emphasis is placed on how dimensionality guides design principles, enables diverse actuation modes, and bridges fundamental ...

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.We reported a stress‐guided photo‐programming strategy that enables cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers (CLCEs) to achieve synchronous 3D shape morphing and structural color evolution from a single 2D film. Abstract Flexible materials with dynamic structural colors have attracted considerable interest for multilevel information interaction, showing ...
