TL;DR: In this article, a review of sensor and actuator types for smart materials is presented, including multilayer and multifunctional ceramics, complex device designs based on biological analogs, emphasis on nonlinear materials with tunable properties, and integration of the active ceramic elements with control circuitry.
Abstract: Electroceramic materials offer an extensive array of sensing and actuating functions that can be incorporated into designs for smart materials. While sophisticated sensing systems have already reached some high-volume applications (including the automotive one) it is expected that the field of smart materials will grow rapidly as additional industrial and consumer markets are tapped. In this paper, a review of ceramic sensor and actuator types was presented. Future developments in this area are expected to include increased use of multilayer and multifunctional ceramics, complex device designs based on biological analogs, emphasis on nonlinear materials with tunable properties, and integration of the active ceramic elements with control circuitry.

TL;DR: This study shows a periodic oscillation of the magnetization direction by +/-20 degrees in a non-centrosymmetric soft magnet (Cu,Ni)B(2)O(4), which is induced by an a.c. electric field of 2 kHz.
Abstract: The electric control of magnetism in magnetic devices has remained problematic, particularly as energy losses due to current flow can be large. The demonstration of electric control of magnetization in a non-centrosymmetric insulating magnetic material therefore represents a new strategy for future applications.

TL;DR: The structural and magnetic order are the decisive elements which vastly determine the properties of smart ternary intermetallics such as X2YZ Heusler alloys as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The structural and magnetic order are the decisive elements which vastly determine the properties of smart ternary intermetallics such as X2YZ Heusler alloys. Here, X and Y are transition metal elements and Z is an element from the III-V group. In order to give a precise prescription of the possibilities to optimize the magnetic shape memory and magnetocaloric effects of these alloys, we use density functional theory calculations. In particular, we outline how one may find new intermetallics which show higher Curie and martensite transformation temperatures when compared with the prototypical magnetic shape-memory alloy Ni2MnGa. Higher operation temperatures are needed for technological applications at elevated temperatures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discussed the work process flow for 4D Additive Manufacturing and identified ten major roles of 4D printing in the manufacturing field and discussed diagrammatically the characteristics of 3D printing, its development, and applications.
Abstract: For many years, 3D Printing technologies have created significant advancements in the fields of engineering and healthcare. 4D printing is also introduced, which is the advanced version of 3D printing. The process of 4D printing is when a printed 3D object becomes another structure due to the influence of outside energy inputs such as temperature, light, or other environmental stimuli. This technology uses the input of smart materials, which have the excellent capability of shape-changing. The self-assembly and programmable material technology aim to reimagine building, production, assembly of products, and performance. 4D printing is applied in various sectors such as engineering, medicine, and others. 4D printed proteins could be a great application. With this new dimension, 3D printed objects can change their shape by themselves over the influence of external stimuli, such as light, heat, electricity, magnetic field, etc. This paper discussed a brief about 4D printing technology. Various characteristics of 4D Printing for enhancing the manufacturing domain, its development, and applications are discussed diagrammatically. Conceptualised the Work Process Flow for 4D Additive Manufacturing and finally identified ten major roles of 4D printing in the manufacturing field. Although reversible 4D Printing itself is a fantastic development, it is innovative, and it employs durable and accurate reversal material during the shapeshift. It helps us create complicated structures that cannot be accomplished easily by traditional manufacturing technologies. It seems to be a game-changer in different industries by depending on natural factors instead of energy and changes the way to produce, develop, bundle, and ship goods entirely.
