Self-healing actuatable electroluminescent fibres - Nature Communications

Alternating-current electroluminescent fibres hold promise as light sources for smart textiles and soft machines, yet they suffer from low durability and stability. Here, the authors report a bright, durable electroluminescent fibre that recovers from severing damage and remains stable for months, with omnidirectional magnetic actuation.

Versatile, high-speed, and efficient crystal actuation with photothermally resonated natural vibrations

Every material possesses a unique natural vibration frequency such that when an external periodic force is applied to this material close to this frequency, the vibrations are greatly amplified. In the parlance of physics, this phenomenon is known as "resonance." Resonance is ubiquitous in our daily life, and, depending on the context, could be deemed desirable or undesirable.
