Additively Manufactured Porous Ceramics as Tunable Dielectrics for Passive Temperature Sensing

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Porous ceramic lattices, 3D‐printed from a multicomponent oxide ink, are integrated with LC resonators for passive wireless temperature sensing. By tuning porosity, the dielectric properties and RF response are engineered to produce distinct resonant frequency shifts with temperature. The results establish a structure‐driven approach to customizing the

Liquid‐Crystal‐Based Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface for 7 GHz Mobile Communication

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The glass‐based liquid‐crystal reconfigurable intelligent surface (LC‐RIS) integrates active‐matrix driving and blind‐greedy phase optimization within a 5G‐NR OFDM framework. This enables continuously tunable and autonomous enhancement of wireless coverage. Leveraging the transparency and manufacturability of liquid crystal panels, it is ideally suited

Toward Perception‐Native Electronic Skin: Bio‐Inspired In‐/Near‐Sensor and Neuromorphic Computing for Humanoid Robots

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Dense tactile streams from across the humanoid body converge on collide in a central wiring and data bottleneck. By relocating computation closer to and then into the skin itself, near‐ and in‐sensor architectures, together with neuromorphic computing, chart a path toward perception‐native electronic skin, in which the conversion of stimulus into ...

Parameter Investigation for Stamp Manufacturing of Complex 3D Geometries Using Nanoimprint Lithography

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Nanoimprint lithography can replicate complex 3D microstructures with undercuts using single‐layer polymer stamps of different elasticities. By combining experiments and simulations, T‐shaped geometries and suitable undercut radii were identified that minimize stress and defects during demolding.

Dynamic Fluorescence Modulation via Light‐Driven Competitive Protonation

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A two‐component molecular system demonstrates reversible, light‐driven fluorescence write–erase cycling and thermal imaging. Illumination of a merocyanine photoacid transfers a proton to a highly efficient fluorescent pyridinium dye, switching its emission color; thermal relaxation reverses the process in the dark.

Rigid Boron‐Fused Frameworks for Efficient Near‐Infrared Emission and Optical Gain Beyond 900 nm

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Multiple‐resonance (MR)‐derived boron‐fused frameworks were integrated into narrow‐gap, long‐range charge‐transfer emitters to reduce structural relaxation and electron‐vibrational coupling. This strategy significantly decreases nonradiative losses, leading to improved near‐infrared (NIR) luminescence efficiency and low‐threshold amplified spontaneous ...
