Materials that respond to light.
Photoresponsive Rotaxanes Switch Lipid Bilayer Neuromorphic Behavior with Light
This study explores a photoresponsive rotaxane that enables programmable neuromorphic behaviors in lipid bilayers through light-induced changes.
Photothermal driven shape memory polymer based on MXene-grafted-polycaprolactone with fast response and easy recyclability
A photothermal-driven shape-memory polymer based on MXene-grafted polycaprolactone is presented as having fast response and easy recyclability.
Heterogeneous Polymer Multilayers Enabling Photoresponsive Nonreciprocal Patterns for Information Encryption
Heterogeneous polymer multilayers enable dynamic, nonreciprocal optical patterns for high-security information encryption.
SAXS measurements of azobenzene lipid vesicles reveal buffer-dependent photoswitching and quantitative Z->E isomerisation by X-rays
SAXS shows that azobenzene lipid membranes undergo buffer-dependent photoswitching, enabling quantitative Z→E isomerisation measurements during soft X-ray exposure.
Gait learning for soft microrobots controlled by light fields
A Bayesian optimization + Gaussian-process learning scheme enables light-controlled soft microrobots to optimize and adapt gaits with few experiments and robustness across microrobot samples.
