Nature Communications We demonstrated a photothermally responsive MAC membrane containing plasmonic AuNSs and CNFs in Mxene nanosheets. The optimized MAC membrane showed photothermal ionic current of ~40 nA that was nearly seven times higher than that of the pristine MXene-based nanochannel and 14 times higher ionic current than that of the GAC membrane.

Science Advances Accurate transmission of biosignals without interference of surrounding noises is a key factor for the realization of human-machine interfaces (HMIs). We propose frequency-selective acoustic and haptic sensors for dual-mode HMIs based on triboelectric sensors with hierarchical macrodome/micropore/nanoparticle structure of ferroelectric composites.

ACS Nano The conductivity-gradient multilayers allowed us to control the saturation behavior of resistance change by the gradual activation of current pathway from outer to inner layers and the difference between initial and saturation resistances, thus ensuring the superior linearity and ultrahigh sensitivity (3.8 × 105 kPa−1 ) for the pressure range of up to 100 kPa.

ACS Nano We developed high-performance TE devices through the structural design of ferroelectric multilayers with alternating PVDF-TrFE and BTO NP layers for enhanced polarization and stress concentration effects.

Science Advances In this work, we presented an artificial tongue that is fully inspired from the human sensing mechanism. The artificial tongue can be prepared by facile UV polymerization on a flexible substrate and exhibit extraordinary sensing capabilities, such as a wide sensing range and a low limit of detectable concentration and high selectivity from other tastes.

Advanced Materials This study demonstrates that a hierarchical NP-MP architecture in porous mechanochromic composites can enhance both mechanochromic strain/stress sensitivity and stretchability.

Science Advances Nanomembranes and nanowires build tiny, transparent loudspeakers and sensitive, voice-recognition microphones that attach to skin.

Advanced Materials Improved performance in plasmonic organic solar cells (OSCs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) via strong plasmon-coupling effects generated by aligned silver nanowire (AgNW) transparent electrodes decorated with core–shell silver–silica nanoparticles (Ag@SiO 2 NPs) is demonstrated.

ACS Nano Here, we demonstrate a flexible ferroelectric sensor with ultrahigh pressure sensitivity and linear response over an exceptionally broad pressure range based on the material and structural design of ferroelectric composites with a multilayer interlocked microdome geometry.

ACS Nano Flexible, transparent, and force-sensitive touch screens using cross-aligned AgNW electrodes integrated with mechanochromic spiropyran–polydimethylsiloxane composite film. Our force-sensitive touch screens enable the precise monitoring of dynamic writings, tracing and drawing of underneath pictures, and perception of handwriting patterns with locally different writing forces.
