Abstract Structural colorful cholesterics show impressive susceptibility to external stimulation, leading applications in electro/mechano‐chromic devices. However, out‐of‐plane actuation of structural actuators based on and the integration with other stimulation remains underdeveloped. Herein, motile humidity sensors are developed using humidity‐responsive cholesteric liquid crystal networks (CLCNs) magnetic composites. The actuator can exhibit synergistic shape morphing color change response humidity, CLCNs as artificial muscles. Through control, sensor be navigated open confined spaces aid friction detect local relative humidity. multi‐stimulation will expand research frontier for spaces.

The collective oscillation of free electrons at the nanoscale surface gold nanostructures is closely modulated by tuning size, shape/morphology, phase, composition, hybridization, assembly, and nanopatterning, along with surroundings plasmonic located a dielectric interface air, liquid, solid. This review first introduces physical origin intrinsic optical properties further summarizes stimuli-responsive changes in properties, metal-field-enhanced signals, luminescence spectral shaping, chiroptical response, photogenerated hot carriers. current success landscape nanoscience nanotechnology mainly originates from abundant thermodynamically stable face-centered cubic (fcc) phase. It has been extended crystal phase engineering to prepare unfavorable phases (e.g., kinetically stable) heterophases modulate their intriguing phase-dependent properties. A broad range promising applications, including but not limited full-color displays, solar energy harvesting, photochemical reactions, sensing, microscopic/biomedical imaging, have fostered parallel research on multitude effects occurring nanostructures.

Abstract The increasing demand for the multidimensional and dynamic control of light has spurred development stimuli‐responsive, reconfigurable, programmable optical systems. Liquid crystals (LCs), which combine liquid‐like stimuli‐responsiveness crystal‐like orientational ordering, have emerged as highly appealing soft materials. Owing to their exceptional performance functionalities, they are becoming incredibly important materials in active planar optics photonics. Additionally, silk proteins, luminescent materials, metasurfaces exhibit properties, enabling remarkable multifunctional applications. This review focuses on advancements stimuli‐responsive including LCs, well some these paired with LCs. Their attractive tunable applications photonics, along great potential future systems, also emphasized.

Abstract Chiral liquid crystal elastomers (CLCEs) are soft photonic materials that exhibit both the characteristics of nanoscale periodic helical structures and mechanical properties rubber. Owing to its elasticity, structural color CLCEs can be tuned through deformations known as mechanochromism. Thus far, there is significant research attention exploring mechanochromism CLCEs. However, most studies have only discussed shifting under uniaxial deformation. Therefore, optical chiral deformation behaviors multiaxial stress not well understood. This study investigates (uniaxial, biaxial, out‐of‐plane) stretching‐induced structure change resulting The results confirm stretching leads a loss intrinsic circular polarization selectivity in due helix unwinding deformations, while biaxial out‐of‐plane maintain polarization.
