Repeatable and Reprogrammable Shape Morphing from Photoresponsive Gold Nanorod/Liquid Crystal Elastomers.
TL;DR: A near-infrared-responsive LCE composite consisting of up to 0.20 wt% poly(ethylene glycol)-modified gold nanorods (AuNRs) without apparent aggregation is demonstrated and it is shown that the same sheet of AuNR/LCE film can be morphed into different shapes simply by varying the motifs of the photomasks.

3D‐Printed Photoresponsive Liquid Crystal Elastomer Composites for Free‐Form Actuation
TL;DR: In this paper , a 3D-printable photoresponsive gold nanorod (AuNR)/LCE composite ink is developed, allowing for photothermal actuation of the 3D printed structures with AuNR as low as 0.1 wt.

Aerodynamics-assisted, efficient and scalable kirigami fog collectors.
Jing Li,Ranjiangshang Ran,Haihuan Wang,Yuchen Wang,You Chen,Shichao Niu,Paulo E. Arratia,Shu Yang +7 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors developed robust and scalable 3D centimetric kirigami structures to control wind flow and regulate the trajectories of incoming fog, yielding high fog collection efficiency.
Autonomous, untethered gait-like synchronization of lobed loops made from liquid crystal elastomer fibers via spontaneous snap-through
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors synthesize curved liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) fibers as the building blocks that can undergo buckling instability upon heated on a hot surface, leading to autonomous snap-through and rolling behaviors.
