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.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Optically pumped magnetometers are employed to contactlessly map the spatiotemporal dynamics of the magnetic field linked to electrical activity of a skeletal muscle in vivo. It is demonstrated that localization of the clinically relevant innervation zone is feasible using this non‐invasive magnetic measurement modality. ABSTRACT Magnetomyography (MMG)

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Naphthopyran–benzophenone compounds can act simultaneously as photoinitiators and photochromic molecules for two‐photon polymerization. Using a single‐step process, liquid photoresist is encapsulated within polymerized 3D microstructures, preserving reversible UV–vis photochromism after fabrication.

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.A maskless, SLM‐driven approach enables the deterministic inscription of arbitrary topographical features in azopolymer films by mapping complex vectorial light fields onto local viscoplastic stress. This platform allows for the rapid generation and dynamic erasure of high‐aspect‐ratio micro‐spikes, offering a versatile tool for reconfigurable flat ...

Dynamic Fluorescence Modulation via Light‐Driven Competitive Protonation
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.A two‐component molecular system demonstrates reversible, light‐driven fluorescence write–erase cycling and thermal imaging. Illumination of a merocyanine photoacid transfers a proton to a highly efficient fluorescent pyridinium dye, switching its emission color; thermal relaxation reverses the process in the dark.

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Single‐photon emitters in WSe2 are formed at strain hotspots created by transition metal dichalcogenide (WS2) nanoantennas on dielectric and metallic substrates. Enhanced emission properties and collection efficiencies are achieved experimentally, while numerical optimization predicts fluorescence enhancements of more than four orders of magnitude ...

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Spherical liquid crystal polymer microlasers with a bipolar configuration confine lasing to a single equatorial plane, allowing precise control over where the laser emission is generated. The anisotropic refractive index profile additionally lifts the energy degeneracy of azimuthal whispering gallery modes, which causes a characteristic splitting into ...

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.MAPbBr3 microwire photodetectors reveal a strong architecture dependence of mixed ionic–electronic phototransport. A single‐gap device exhibits pronounced illumination‐history‐dependent transients governed by trap‐assisted injection and ionic polarization, whereas a multi‐gap configuration averages local interfacial effects and yields stable ...

Spectral Splitting Using Luminescent Solar Concentrator Lightguides
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Attaching selective reflectors to the edges of a luminescent solar concentrator containing two different fluorescent dyes makes it possible to parse the incident white light spectrum into two separate edge emission wavelengths. Separation may be enhanced by aligning the dichroic dyes on the lightguide surface.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This article presents dielectric elastomer switch (DES) materials, based on composite thin films. Alignment of graphite flakes due to their physical confinement within the thin films lead to much stronger piezoresistive responses than bulk composites, while their durability exceeds that of conventional liquid‐based DES materials.
