Monolithic UV‐Laser Programming of Photothermally Meta‐Morphing SMA Structures: Dual‐Encoded Kirigami Mechanics and Photonic Absorbance (Adv. Sci. 31/2026)
Source abstract
Abstract
Photothermal Shape Memory Alloy Actuators In their Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/advs.74930), Il-Kwon Oh and co-workers report a monolithic UV-laser programming strategy that transforms flat NiTi sheets into coating-free photothermal SMA meta-morphing structures, where kirigami mechanics and photonic absorbance are dual-encoded in a single platform. Spatially programmed oxidation enables rapid, sequential 3D morphing under light, opening new opportunities for adaptive surfaces, interactive displays, and photonic soft robotics.
