In this work, we report a series of single-component molecules crystals named dialkyl 4, 4′-
oxalyldibenzoate (n-BZ) with both efficient room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) …

We report the construction of an organic crystal multiplexer using three chemically and
optically different acicular, flexible organic crystals for a broadband, visible light signal …

Although many examples of mechanically flexible crystals are currently known, their utility in
all-flexible devices is not yet adequately demonstrated, despite their immense potential for …

Hybrid materials capitalize on the properties of individual materials to attain a specific
combination of performance assets that is not available with the individual components …

Among the various types of photomechanical deformations of organic crystals, photoinduced
elongation of millimeter-scale crystals has yet to be demonstrated. Here we report that the …

The mechanical adaptiveness of long-range ordered molecular crystals has long been
ignored due to their brittle nature, unlike polymers and flexible biomaterials. However, the …

Molecular crystals responding to external stress, or soft crystalline materials being adaptable
