TL;DR: The experimental demonstration of an electrostatic-doping-driven phase transition between the hexagonal and monoclinic phases of monolayer molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2), which opens up new possibilities for developing phase-change devices based on atomically thin membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soft phototactic swimmer based on self-sustained hydrogel oscillator.
TL;DR: A self-sustained soft oscillator that exhibits perpetual and untethered locomotion as a phototactic soft swimming robot, remotely fueled and steered by constant visible light is reported, and high-speed and controllablePhototactic locomotion is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An artificial phototropic system based on nanostructured stimuli-responsive polymers that can aim and align to the incident light direction in the three-dimensions over a broad temperature range is reported, termed a sunflower-like biomimetic omnidirectional tracker (SunBOT).
Journal ArticleDOI
Superhydrophobic photothermal icephobic surfaces based on candle soot.
Shuwang Wu,Yingjie Du,Yousif Alsaid,Dong Wu,Mutian Hua,Yichen Yan,Bowen Yao,Bowen Yao,Yanfei Ma,Xinyuan Zhu,Ximin He +10 more
TL;DR: A low-cost, high-efficiency superhydrophobic photothermal surface, uniquely based on inexpensive commonly seen candle soot, which shows great potential and broad impacts owing to its inexpensive component materials, simplicity, ecofriendliness, and high energy efficiency.
