Spatiotemporal modulation of surface texture for information encoding and object manipulation
Xiao Yang, Jay Sim, Ruike Renee Zhao
Dynamically tunable surface textures offer a powerful route to spatiotemporally regulate surface and interfacial properties, enabling emerging applications ranging from adaptive op…
Bioinspired Synergistic Texture and Color Modulation Enabled by Surface Instability of Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Elastomers
Xiao Yang, Jay Sim, Wenbin Huang +1
Certain cephalopods can dynamically camouflage by altering both skin texture and color to match their surroundings. Inspired by this capability, we present a cholesteric liquid cry…
Clot Treatment via Compression- and Shear-Induced Densification of Fibrin Network Microstructure: A Combined in Vitro and In Silico Investigation
Yilong Changa, Guansheng Li, Jay Sim +2
Blood clots, consisting of red blood cells (RBCs) entrapped within a fibrin network, can cause life-threatening conditions such as stroke and heart attack. The recently developed m…
Selective Actuation Enabled Multifunctional Magneto-mechanical Metamaterial for Programming Elastic Wave Propagation
Jay Sim, Shuai Wu, Sarah Hwang +2
Active metamaterials are a type of metamaterial with tunable properties enabled by structural reconfigurations. Existing active metamaterials often achieve only a limited number of…
