From Folding Mechanics to Robotic Function: A Unified Modeling Framework for Compliant Origami

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A geometry‐consistent DDG framework captures compliant origami deformation from rigid‐like folding to soft panel bending. By tuning crease and panel stiffness, bistable snap‐through responses transform into smooth monostable deformation, enabling programmable stability and robot‐scale locomotion.

Programming Structural Symmetry and Emission in Low‐Dimensional Hybrid Perovskites via Time and Temperature

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We demonstrate programmable structural symmetry and emission in benzylammonium‐based low‐dimensional hybrid perovskites. Continuous shaking transforms orthorhombic platelets into a lower‐symmetry monoclinic phase with broadband emission, whereas thermal activation drives the reverse pathways toward a higher‐symmetry configuration resembling the ...

Lithium Niobate Electro‐Optic Photonic Processor for Variational Quantum Eigensolver

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An integrated lithium‐niobate‐on‐insulator ququart processor implements an electro‐optically controlled photonic variational quantum eigensolver using single photons encoded in four path modes. Bell‐basis‐emulating ququart projective measurements reduce measurement settings while achieving chemical‐accuracy‐level molecular‐energy estimation.

Thermal Control of Concentric Topographies Patterned by Dynamic Electro‐Templated Generated Chiral Solitonic Structures

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An electro‐templating strategy directs the relaxation of cholesteric finger loops into discrete concentric rings whose geometry is electrically programmed. The photopolymerized structures retain the topological defect pattern and, upon heating, show reversible, castle‐like surface modulation.

Dimple‐Encoded Reprogrammable Origami

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Local snap‐through of bistable dimples turns flat elastic sheets into reprogrammable origami structures. Interaction‐guided dimple arrays act as angle‐programmable hinge bands, enabling one sheet to morph into distinct polygonal and three‐dimensional configurations while retaining stable shapes for deployable and protective functions.
