Fast Hydrogel Micro‐Actuators Driven by Electric Fields

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We report the fabrication of chemically programmable electroactuating microstructures through the first integration of two‐photon polymerization with electrically actuated gelatin methacrylate‐based hydrogels. By tailoring the charge of the polymer network, we demonstrate programmable polarity‐dependent bending, enabling microstructures that ...

Moiré Phase Mapping in Twisted Bilayer Liquid Crystals with Reconfigurable Light Polarization States

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Twisted bilayer liquid crystals are developed by vertical stacking assembly of two liquid crystals having designer domains and optical properties. These moiré‐symmetry, twisted liquid crystals demonstrate reconfigurable polarization states, moiré patterns and phases controlled by twist angles, providing a route to design active optical devices for ...

Unconventional Biexciton Dynamics in Superradiant Perovskite Quantum Dots Driven by Many‐Body Correlations

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Single‐particle spectroscopy and variational quantum Monte Carlo simulations reveal that strong many‐body correlations fundamentally alter biexciton radiative recombination in weakly confined CsPbBr3 quantum dots. Intra‐ and inter‐exciton correlations reverse the conventional lifetime hierarchy, yielding biexcitons with longer radiative lifetimes than ...

Wavelength‐ and Helicity‐Reconfigurable Circularly Polarized Optical Diodes Enabled by Molecular Photoswitches

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
All‐optical, photoswitchable diode‐type device for tunable nonreciprocal (asymmetric) transmission of CPL across a broad spectrum of light is demonstrated using molecular motor (photoswitch)‐doped cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) sandwiched between polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polydopamine (PDA)‐PVA composite layers.

Spectrally Programmable Spin‐Polarized Photocurrents in WSe2–NiPS3 Magnetic van der Waals Heterostructures

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Heterostructure photodiode devices of p‐type WSe2 with n‐type NiPS3 constructs spectrally protected spin‐polarized photocurrents. The energy of the excitation photon serves as an independent control parameter for spin‐selective photocurrent generation. ABSTRACT Efficient generation and control of spin‐polarized currents in semiconductors remain central

Controlled Growth of Boron Nitride in Various Phases

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Phase‐selective boron nitride growth is presented as a unified materials‐design problem across hexagonal, rhombohedral, cubic, and amorphous phases. By linking synthesis routes to thermodynamic stability, kinetic accessibility, surface diffusion, interfacial templating, and energetic activation, this review clarifies how bonding and stacking are ...

Keratin–Melanin Complexation Enables Robust, Delamination‐Resistant Feather‐Inspired Structural Color Coatings for Flexible and Curved Substrates

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Providing mechanically robust structural color coating technology inspired by cooperative interactions in nature. The spatial arrangement of melanin particles within the keratin matrix generates angle‐independent structural colors. Diverse functional groups in keratin and melanin contribute to interparticle and substrate adhesion, resulting in the ...
