Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...

Electrically Tunable Heliconical Smectic Superstructure in Polar Fluids
Strong dipole–dipole interactions give rise to an emergent polar smectic phase with spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. This resulting polar heliconical smectic superstructure enables novel functionalities in polar fluids, such as color modulation driven by electric field strength and frequency, as well as second‐harmonic generation amplification ...

Giant Anisotropy and High Second‐Order Nonlinearity of 3R‐MoS2 for Multifunctional Photonics
Graphical abstract highlights, 3R‐polytype of MoS2 (3R‐MoS2) as a multifunctional photonic platform enabled by giant optical anisotropy and optical nonlinearities, demonstrating subdiffractional waveguiding, giant second‐harmonic (SH) generation, and high‐performance reflective polarization control.

Far‐Infrared Hyperbolic Phonon–Polaritons in Zirconium Disulfide
An unpatterned ZrS2${\rm ZrS}_2$ flake, coupled to far‐field infrared light by metal nanoribbons, reveals hyperbolic phonon polaritons with multiple higher‐order branches and effective refractive indices up to 223. This resonator‐assisted approach establishes ZrS2${\rm ZrS}_2$ as a compact van der Waals platform for deeply subwavelength far‐infrared ...

Operation Limits of Integrated Photo‐Rechargeable Batteries
This study elucidates the operational limitations of integrated photo‐rechargeable batteries. We demonstrate that the photo‐charging process is fundamentally restricted not only by material‐to‐material energy level alignment but also by transient capacitive charge accumulation within the cathode framework.

Reconfigurable Ferroelectric‐Like Two‐Dimensional Electron Gas at Room Temperature
We demonstrate the realization of a novel ferroelectric‐like two‐dimensional electron gas (2DEG) based on the epitaxial interface between SrO‐terminate SrTiO3 and ferroeletric KNb0.5Na0.5O3${\rm KNb}_{0.5}{\rm Na}_{0.5}{\rm O}_3$ thin films. We show nonvolatile control of the transport properties enabling spatially reconfigurable devices in which ...
