Electrically Tunable Heliconical Smectic Superstructure in Polar Fluids

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Strong dipole–dipole interactions give rise to an emergent polar smectic phase with spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. This resulting polar heliconical smectic superstructure enables novel functionalities in polar fluids, such as color modulation driven by electric field strength and frequency, as well as second‐harmonic generation amplification ...

Field‐Programmable Mobile Magneto‐Photonic Metaparticles for Active Light Manipulation and Steering

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We report magneto‐photonic metaparticles that integrate magnetic actuation with nanoimprinted metagratings, enabling mobile and programmable beam steering in aqueous environments. This platform achieves real time, directional light control beyond static or line‐of‐sight systems, while remaining compatible with scalable fabrication, providing a ...

Decoupling Photochemical and Photothermal Effects Using Molecular Motors Enables Fast, Intelligent, and Life‐Like Motions in Soft Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A light‐responsive liquid crystal (LC) polymer network integrating molecular rotary motors and photothermal converters enables the decoupling of photochemical and photothermal effects. Selective wavelength activation allows orthogonal control over persistent shape encoding and fast reversible motion, enabling programmable soft robots capable of complex

Uniaxial Stress Enhanced Anisotropic Magnetoresistance and Superconductivity in the Kagome Superconductor LaRu3Si2

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We identify strong anisotropy in the upper critical field and magnetoresistance in the kagome superconductor LaRu3Si2, revealing pronounced electronic anisotropy. Uniaxial stress enhances magnetoresistance and Tc, with a positive correlation suggesting an electronic pairing mechanism.
