Photothermomechanically Efficient, Low‐Cost, High‐Cycle‐Life, Hybrid MXene‐Polymer Actuators
The addition of MXenes to elastomer‐plastic‐paper films enables the creation of easily prepared actuators that are scalable for small robotic applications. Known as MXene‐polymer Trilayer Actuators (MPTAs), they bend from UV light. Their usefulness is demonstrated through kirigami‐inspired flower‐shaped art design, parallel manipulator for waveguiding,

This perspective explores how intrinsic confinement effects in metavalent chalcogenide and pnictogen thin films alter optical and vibrational properties. By comparing thickness‐dependent effects across prototypical systems, this work highlights the role of unconventional bonding in shaping coherent phonon dynamics and dielectric functions, offering new

A comparative study of the optical and polaritonic properties of excitons in hBN‐encapsulated monolayer TMDs close to the homogeneous linewidth is presented. Reflection spectroscopy with transmission‐line modeling enables extraction of the complex permittivities and demonstrate their ability to host surface‐exciton‐polaritons.

On–Off Switchable Micromotors for Use in Steerable Microvehicles
Electrically controllable micromotors and microvehicles are developed by tuning the diffusion of the fuel. Self‐propelled micromotors using bubble propulsion show great promise for miniaturized devices with multiuse purposes such as cargo delivery and sensing. However, there is currently no method to electrically switch the micromotors on or off. Here,

Combining a biomimetic soft‐robot with deep‐learning data analytics sheds light on a unique peripheral dynamics seen in the biosonar system of bats: Bats modulate their ultrasonic biosonar signals upon emission as well as reception with variable, yet highly coordinated motion patterns of their noseleaves and pinnae.
