Fly ash (FA) is the main solid waste emitted from coal-fired power plants. Due to its high yield, low utilization rate, and occupation of a large amount of land, it exerts enormous pressure on the Earth's environment. With the deepening of the concept of sustainable development, exploring the reuse of industrial waste such as FA has become a key strategy.

The advancement of energy-saving buildings requires both high-performance passive radiative cooling (PRC) and solar absorption heating (SAH) materials. Although many materials with PRC or SAH functions have been developed, they cannot adapt to the large fluctuations of ambient temperature in different seasons. Herein, we report the design and fabrication of a new thermochromic porous film (TMRC) with combined temperature-adaptive SAH and PRC performance to achieve "warm in winter and cool in summer" for all-year radiative cooling and solar heating.

Flexible thermal-responsive encryption devices are widely employed in information encryption and anti-counterfeiting due to their cost-effectiveness and dynamic data encryption and decryption capabilities. However, most current devices are limited to a single layer of encryption, resulting in restricted decryption methods and storage capacity, as well as reliance on external heating. In this study, we integrate multiple layers of encryption within a single device and introduce self-heating thermochromic technology along with infrared thermal imaging encryption to establish a novel concept of a multilayer flexible encryption system.

Smart windows that can passively regulate incident solar radiation by dynamically modulating optical transmittance have attracted increasing scientific interest due to their potential economic and environmental savings. However, challenges remain in the global adoption of such systems, given the extreme variability in climatic and economic conditions across different geographical locations. Aiming these issues, a methylcellulose (MC) salt system is synthesized with high tunability for intrinsic optical transmittance (89.

Flexible tactile sensors have garnered considerable attention in diverse fields. Among them, the sensors integrated with multifunctional tactile sensing features can simultaneously detect various stimuli, such as pressure and temperature, and are thus suitable for practical applications. However, integrating multiple sensor modalities within a solitary pixel invariably encounters various limitations encompassing interplay among disparate sensors, intricate structural design demands, and the complexities and high costs associated with fabrication.
