Winners and losers of energy sustainability-Global assessment of the Sustainable Development Goals

Samuel Asumadu Sarkodie

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive assessment of energy sustainability across 217 countries and territories, highlighting the challenges faced by low-income countries in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The research reveals that sustained economic growth and reduced income inequality can improve energy sustainability in developing economies. Additionally, climate-prone regions that heavily rely on water resources for power generation should prioritize sustainable climate policies to minimize trade-offs between energy resources and environmental threats.

Modeling of photo-responsive liquid crystal elastomer actuators

Jundong Wu et al.

Summary: Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) have potential applications in soft robot actuators due to their photo-responsive deformation characteristics. Current models for LCE are preliminary, hindering their implementation. This study develops a model to quantitatively describe the deformation characteristics of LCE, laying the foundation for accurate control of LCE actuators.

Polarization Dependent Light-Driven Liquid Crystal Elastomer Actuators Based on Photothermal Effect

Yong Li et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates a strategy of constructing a linearly polarization dependent light-driven soft actuator based on dichroic dye (DD) doped LCEs. Three polarization-dependent photothermal effect based LCE actuators, including oscillators, bionic dog swinging tail, and light-mill, are experimentally investigated for the first time. The polarization of light is proven to act as a controlling parameter and provides an additional degree of freedom to photothermal effect based light-driven LCE actuators.

Artificial Phototropic Systems for Enhanced Light Harvesting Based on a Liquid Crystal Elastomer

Yichen Yan et al.

Summary: An artificial phototropic system has been developed to address the universal problem of oblique-incidence-induced energy-density loss (OEL) in processes involving electromagnetic waves, especially sunlight harvesting. The system is versatile, low cost, mechanically strong, and can achieve large-angle reorientation driven by unconcentrated sunlight. Compared to nonphototropic systems, it can achieve significantly higher output in both lab and real-life applications.
