Two‐Way Shape Memory Polymer Composite Gripper for Adaptive Robotic Applications
A two‐way shape memory polymer (SMP) composite is developed with intrinsic shape‐changing capability driven solely by temperature, eliminating external actuation loads. Embedding the SMP in a low‐stiffness elastomeric matrix enabled reversible transformations during heating and cooling cycles.

Unlocking Terahertz Steganography: Authentication of Hidden Images in Flexible Media
Hidden information in multilayered devices, such as steganographic portraits, is detected and authenticated using reflection‐mode terahertz time‐domain imaging. Image reconstruction relies on a dedicated figure‐of‐merit obtained by integrating the signal intensity over the time‐window associated with the reflection from the metallic mirror backing the ...

Wafer‐Scale Top‐Down Patterning of Metal Halide Perovskites
Wafer‐scale patterning of metal halide perovskite films is demonstrated on 150 mm substrates using a chemically amplified resist, polymethyl methacrylate (CAR‐PMMA) and a single reactive ion etching step. The streamlined process preserves film luminescence while defining submicrometer features across the full wafer, enabling dense, scalable integration
