Overcoming Material Incompatibility via 2D Free‐Surface Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A scalable post‐epitaxial strategy introduces a sub‐nanometric 2D free surface (2DFS) at the heterointerface, effectively decoupling lattice‐mismatched layers. This process significantly reduces strain‐driven defects and dislocation density in Ge/Si heterostructures. The resulting bulk‐like material quality, validated by advanced microscopy and optical

Spatially‐Controlled Planar Guided Crystallization of Low‐Loss Phase Change Materials for Programmable Photonics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The concept of spatially‐controlled planar guided crystallization is a novel method for programming the growth of optically homogeneous low‐loss Sb2S3 phase‐change material (PCM), leveraging the directional crystallization within confined channels.

A Versatile Materials Class for Solution‐Processed Optics and Photonics Based On Titanium Oxide Hydrates and Polyalcohols: A Perspective

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A new, solution‐processable class of optical materials based on molecular hybrids of metal oxide hydrates and commodity polymers is discussed here, including their synthesis, processing into thin films, patterning, and photonic structures realized to date.

Emergent Berry Curvature in Inversion‐Symmetric Photonic Crystals for Ultraconfined Topological States

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, nonzero Berry curvature in photonic crystals is induced by breaking unit cell inversion symmetry through spatial shifts rather than geometrical modifications. This enables the design of ultraconfined topological states with subwavelength in‐plane field confinement and out‐of‐plane field isolation.

Biological and Biologically Inspired Functional Nanostructures: Insights into Structural, Optical, Thermal, and Sensing Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biological and biologically‐inspired functional nanostructures with structural, thermal, optical, and sensing applications are reviewed. The role of nanoscale features in biological materials on performance is described, and their blueprints are used for bio‐inspired nanomaterials, synthesized using advanced techniques (i.e., photolithography, bio ...

Thermally Drawn Multifunctional All‐Hydrogel Fibers for Anti‐Fibrotic and Multimodal Neural Interfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Hydrogels demonstrate material properties that mimic the mechanical and chemical environments of biological tissues. Yet, they face challenges during their integration into 3D interfaces. By identifying a class of thermoplastic hydrogels, a strategy is developed to pattern hydrogels in thermally drawn fibers.

Independent Wavefront Multiplexing with Metasurfaces via Non‐Injective Transformation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, a universal metasurface multiplexing strategy is presented based on non‐injective transformation. By jointly optimizing two metasurfaces, multiplexed channels achieve independent wavefront control, overcoming crosstalk limits of single‐layer designs.
