Soft Colloidal Robots: Magnetically Guided Liquid Crystal Torons for Targeted Micro‐Cargo Delivery

Small, EarlyView.
Torons, topological quasiparticles in liquid crystals, can be propelled using electric fields and precisely steered with magnetic alignment, enabling programmable motion without fluid flow. In microfluidic channels, they transport colloidal cargo and exhibit novel dynamic behavior. Their uniformity, softness, and reconfigurability make torons ideal for

Liquid‐Processed 2D Aromatic Amorphous Carbon: Defect Engineering and Universal Transport Scaling

Small, EarlyView.
Liquid‐processed graphene oxide (GO) thin films undergo a controllable crystalline–to–amorphous transition driven by thermal quenching. By kinetically tuning oxygen‐driven defect formation during reduction, scalable 2D aromatic amorphous carbon phases are stabilized, directly linking nanoscale disorder and defect topology to electronic transport ...

Freestanding Polymer Metasurface Supporting Higher‐Order Optical Resonances for Strong Field Enhancement in TMD Monolayers

Small, EarlyView.
A freestanding polymer metasurface is developed to enhance light emission from atomically thin semiconductors. By supporting higher‐order optical resonances that concentrate electromagnetic fields at the surface, the platform significantly improves coupling between light and WS2 monolayer.

Mapping the Conformational Landscape of DNA Minicircles Through Atomic Force Microscopy and Shape Space Analysis

Small, EarlyView.
An automated framework is presented for quantifying DNA conformational variability from atomic force microscopy (AFM) images. DNA backbones are reduced to spline representations and analyzed using cyclic Procrustes analysis to measure shape similarity across ensembles.

Impacts of Fluorination at the Ortho‐Position of Carboxy Groups on Tetrakis(biphenyl)ethene‐Based Hydrogen‐Bonded Framework

Small, EarlyView.
This work provides new findings on the effect of fluorination on the substitution of TPE derivatives and the modulation of the structure and fluorescence properties of hydrogen‐bonded organic framework (HOF) of F‐CBPE. ABSTRACT Fluorination of building block molecules is one of the effective engineering approaches to modulate molecular assembly in ...
