Ionic‐Liquid Gating of InAs Nanowire‐Based Field‐Effect Transistors

Ionic liquids perform outstandingly as electrolyte gate in field‐effect transistors based on InAs nanowires. The liquid gating exceeds by a factor 30 the efficiency of conventional solid‐state back‐gate. The effective control of the charge carrier density permits to tune the temperature dependence of the electrical resistance from semiconducting...

Symmetry‐Breaking Response of Azo Molecular Glass Microspheres to Interfering Circularly Polarized Light: From Shape Manipulation to 3D Patterning

Photoinduced symmetry‐breaking deformations of azo molecular glass microspheres are observed upon irradiation with two interfering circularly polarized laser beams in the right‐circular polarization (RCP):left‐circular polarization (LCP) and LCP:RCP combinations, respectively. The particle shape manipulation and 3D patterning on basis of this unique...

Molecularly‐Engineered, 4D‐Printed Liquid Crystal Elastomer Actuators

Novel inks for printable liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are reported herein. The 3D‐printed LCE structures undergo controlled and reversible shape change upon heating. By controlling the reaction parameters (e.g., reaction type, mesogen concentration, or crosslinking density), a wide range of LCEs are synthesized and characterized for their use...

Carbazole–Dibenzofuran Dyads as Metal‐Free Single‐Component White‐Color Photoemitters

White‐color light emitters from single organic molecule without heavy metals are prepared from newly synthesized carbazole–dibenzofuran dyads. Upon successive UV irradiation to the thin film of the dyad, dual phosphorescence bands appear at blue and yellow‐green regions. Furthermore, upon successive current flow, white‐color electroluminescence...

Pillared MXene with Ultralarge Interlayer Spacing as a Stable Matrix for High Performance Sodium Metal Anodes

A tin(II) ions (Sn2+) pillared titanium carbide (Ti3C2) MXene matrix serves as a highly stable host for metallic sodium (Na) anodes. The intercalated Sn2+ not only induces Na nucleation and growth within Ti3C2 interlayers, but also endows the Ti3C2 with larger interlayer space to accommodate the deposited Na by taking advantage of the “pillar effect”,...
