When Cellulose Moves: Smart Sensors and Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review highlights cellulose‐derived soft actuators alongside with cellulose‐based sensors. Emphasis is placed on their integration into multifunctional devices that couple sensing and actuation to mimic natural motion and adaptability. We also discuss the challenges of achieving robust, reversible, and multi‐stimuli‐responsive motion, and outline ...

Interfacial Assembly of Dye‐Doped Microparticles Driven by Combined Optical and Non‐Optical Forces

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Optical trapping controls nano‐ and microparticle assembly using various forces, including absorption for photoexcitable resonant molecules. This study demonstrates photoexcitation‐mediated assembly, forming hexagonal‐close‐packed structures at the air/solution interface.

Generalized Heterodyne Interferometry in Kerr Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
Interferometry, combined with heterodyne detection, enables simultaneous measurement of light amplitude and phase. This work applies these methods to study nonlinear phase shifts from the optical Kerr effect during laser pulse propagation. Results show the nonlinear index is straightforward to retrieve at low phases, but at higher powers, pulse shape ...
