3D‐Printed Actuator Powered by Liquid Crystal Elastomer Muscles at the Water–Air Interface

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Soft robots for unstructured environments require responsive, durable actuators. Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) provide large reversible deformations under thermal or optical stimuli. Direct ink writing enables fabrication of LCE actuators integrated with silicone, with mesogen chemistry and oligomers optimized for printable inks.

Low‐Outgassing Liquid Metal–Silicone Composites for Multifunctional Space Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Integrating liquid metal microdroplets into a space‐grade silicone creates a multifunctional composite while preserving its inherent flexibility and low‐outgassing behavior. The composite has 11×$\times$ higher thermal conductivity while remaining thermally stable and maintaining a total mass loss of ≤$\le$ 1% under thermal vacuum testing.

A Fully Lithography‐Free Fabrication Strategy for Organic Electrochemical Transistors

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A fully lithography‐free fabrication strategy for organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) is developed, eliminating the need for photolithography and other cleanroom‐based processes. By combining a laser‐cut polymer mask with a dual‐layer tape process, the proposed strategy enables simple and accessible fabrication, facilitating rapid OECT ...

Coherent Absorption Reveals Colors Hidden in a Grey Fabry–Pérot Cavity

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A dielectric thin film shows colors depending on its thickness; this effect can be used to encode information normally accessible through single‐beam spectroscopy. We developed a method to conceal this kind of information, based on coating the dielectric with a matched conductor, that suppresses the color‐bearing thin‐film resonances.

Electrochemistry‐Enabled Optical and Plasmonic Programmable Metasurfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Electrochemistry is emerging as a promising approach for engineering optical and plasmonic metasurfaces, from the fabrication of nanoscale structures to their dynamic control. This Perspective reviews electrochemical strategies for creating and tuning metasurfaces, examines current challenges and opportunities, and discusses how integration with ...
