Multimodal self-sustainable autonomous locomotions integrated into one individual system, are high-level intelligent behavioral characteristics of living organisms and the scientific hotspot bionic soft actuators. Here, we report a light-fueled actuator with multimodal movements based on Seifert ribbon bounded by Hopf link. The can self-sense illumination area adjustment, actuation component becomes either discontinuous strip-like structure or continuous toroidal structure, which realize adaptive switches between self-sustained oscillatory rotary motions. two motion modes applied to self-oscillatory piezoelectric generation self-rotational work multiplication cargo transport, respectively. unique smartness surface topology advances level intelligence broad implications for adaptability, multifunctionality, autonomy robots.

Abstract Information security has gained increasing attention in the past decade, leading to development of advanced materials for anti‐counterfeiting, encryption and instantaneous information display. However, it remains challenging achieve high with simple procedures low‐energy stimuli. Herein, a series strain/temperature‐responsive liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are developed dual‐modal, multi‐level real‐time, rewritable transient The as‐prepared polydomain LCEs can change from an opaque state transparent under strain or temperature stimuli, transition strains temperatures highly dependent on concentration long‐chain flexible spacers. encrypted by different LCE inks be decrypted specific temperatures, protection security. Furthermore, combination phase photothermal effect multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), we achieved repeatable display using near‐infrared (NIR) light as pen writing.
