Abstract

In article number 1804838, Xuechang Zhou and co-workers design a shape morphing nanosystem by encapsulating liquid metal (LM) nanodroplets with polydopamine (PDA). Under near-infrared light irradiation, the PDA shell converts light energy into heat energy and locally heats the LM core, which triggers the shape transformation of the LM core from a spherical shape to ellipsoid.
