Abstract

Photonic Crystals In article number 2502229, Yunming Wang and co-workers focus on a novel four-state thermochromic/photochromic photonic crystal composite film. The picture showcases the film's dynamic color transitions under dual stimuli—UV light and temperature. Circular packed composite microspheres demonstrate Bragg diffraction-enabled structural coloration. The roll-shear process symbolizes scalable fabrication of long-range ordered architectures. This visually conveys the material's potential in anti-counterfeiting, information encryption, and dynamic display technologies, aligning with the paper's innovative approach.
