Autonomous Folding of Soft Matter From Living Polymers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Origami structures are endowed with “living” polymer creases that grow, remodel, and stiffen in response to nutrient solutions. This post‐fabrication growth enables autonomous folding, iterative regrowth, and mechanical tuning involving origami assemblies, such as cranes, Miura‐ori tessellations, rigid and non‐rigid square‐twist patterns, establishing ...

Spectral Selective and Low‐Noise Thin‐Film Organic Photodetectors Enabled by Electric‐Field Engineering

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Molecular doping redistributes the internal electric field in organic photodetectors, providing a new degree of freedom to spatially control carrier transport and collection. Simulations and experiments reveal distinct transport pathways for injected and photogenerated carriers, enabling low dark current under reverse bias and wavelength‐selective ...

Sub‐Diffraction and Irreversibly Tunable Imaging With Potato Starch Lenses

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Native potato starch granules function as sustainable birefringent microlenses that enable polarization‐controlled conventional and vortex lensing via spin‐to‐orbital angular momentum conversion. They provide sub‐diffraction and spiral‐contrast imaging, support vortex‐array generation with controllable topological‐charge sign, exhibit irreversible ...

Voltage‐Reconfigurable Magneto‐Ionic Nanolayers in Dot Arrays for Probabilistic, Materials‐Engineered Security Primitives

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A magneto‐ionic security‐by‐materials‐design strategy exploits voltage‐driven N3– migration in selectively contacted FeCoN dots, creating reconfigurable sub‐15 nm ferromagnetic sublayers with deterministic and/or probabilistic (single‐domain↔vortex) states, voltage‐tunable probabilities and fully stochastic orientation/chirality.

Bistable Networks Enable Complex Shape Changes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Transition‐controlled metamaterials are networks of bistable mechanical memory that store local binary states and express them as global shape change. By decoupling low‐force programming from high‐force holding, a single lattice is reconfigured into distinct 2D profiles and 3D surfaces without continuous actuation, enabling reusable morphing materials ...
