Dual Thermal-/Electrical-Responsive Luminescent ‘Smart’ Window

Applied Sciences, 2020
As buildings are a large energy user, it is important to not only reduce their consumption, but also have them generate their own electricity. Here, we describe a smart window that could reduce electricity consumption, normally used for air conditioning ...

Light‐Driven Continual Oscillatory Rocking of a Polymer Film

ChemistryOpen, 2020
Achieving oscillatory motion in polymers without requiring on/off switching of stimuli is a current challenge. Hereby, a free‐standing liquid crystal polymer (LCP) is demonstrated to undergo a sustained oscillatory motion when triggered by light, moving ...

From Molecular Machines to Stimuli‐Responsive Materials [PDF]

Advanced Materials, 2019
AbstractArtificial molecular machines are able to produce and exploit precise nanoscale actuations in response to chemical or physical triggers. Recent scientific efforts have been devoted to the integration, orientation, and interfacing of large assemblies of molecular machines in order to harness their collective actuations at larger length scale and
