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

Micromachined Double‐Membrane Mechanically Tunable Metamaterial for Thermal Infrared Filtering
Advanced Photonics Research, Volume 6, Issue 5, May 2025.Herein, a mechanically tunable double‐layer plasmonic metamaterial leveraging the extraordinary optical transmission effect observed in subwavelength arrays of openings within thin metal layers is presented. The concept is experimentally validated by integrating the proposed metamaterial structure into an electrostatic parallel‐plate actuator to create
