Reconfigurable optical metasurfaces are rapidly emerging as a major frontier in photonics
research, development and commercialization. They promise compact, lightweight and …

The introduction of bound states in the continuum (BICs) to photonics has revolutionized the
way cavity design and light–matter interactions are thought about in general. BICs can have …

Radiative cooling materials spontaneously radiate long-wave infrared (LWIR) to the cold
outer space, providing cooling power that is preferred in hot seasons. Radiative cooling has …

Phase-change materials (PCMs) provide a unique combination of properties. On
transformation from the amorphous to crystalline state, their optical properties change …

Materials can be transformed from one crystalline phase to another by using an electric field
to control ion transfer, in a process that can be harnessed in applications such as batteries …

Adaptive control of broadband light is essential for diverse applications including building
energy management and light modulation. Here, we present porous polymer coatings …

This review stands in the larger framework of functional materials by focussing on
heterostructures of rare-earth nickelates, described by the chemical formula RNiO 3 where R …

Thermal radiation in the mid‐infrared region profoundly affects human lives in various fields,
including thermal management, imaging, sensing, camouflage, and thermography. Due to …

Radiative cooling is the process by which an object on the Earth's surface loses heat by
emitting thermal radiation into space through the atmospheric window. Because thermal …

DNA programmable assembly has been combined with top-down lithography to construct
superlattices of discrete, reconfigurable nanoparticle architectures on a gold surface over …
