Utilization of rewritable luminescent materials for secure information storage and delivery has long been envisaged to reduce the cost and environmental wastes. However, it remains challenging to realize a temporally/spatially controlled display of the written information, which is crucial for secure information encryption. Here, inspired by bioelectricity-triggered skin pattern switching in cephalopods, an ideal rewritable system consisting of conductive graphene film and carbon dots (CDs) gel with blue-to-red fluorescence-color changes via water-triggered CDs aggregation and re-dispersion is presented. Its rewritability is guaranteed by using water ink to write on the CDs-gel and employing Joule heat of graphene film to evaporate water. Due to the highly controlled electrical stimulus, temporally/spatially controlled display is achieved, enabling on-demand delivery and duration time regulation of the written information. Furthermore, new-concept environment-interactive rewritable system is obtained by integrating sensitive acoustic/optical sensors and multichannel electronic time-delay devices. This work opens unprecedented avenues of rewritable systems and expands potential uses for information encryption/delivery.

Article Synopsis
- Donor-acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASAs) are eco-friendly compounds that can change form when exposed to light and heat, making them ideal for smart materials, but achieving quick transitions in solid forms with high bio-content is challenging.
- Researchers created a new kind of sustainable nano/micro capsule with 57% bio-content, combining PMMA and a special acid mixture, which allows for fast and effective isomerization of a specific DASA, achieving up to 90% efficiency under mild conditions.
- This breakthrough not only overcomes previous challenges in utilizing high bio-content materials but also opens up new applications for DASAs, such as in rewritable papers

R. China.
Controlling multicolor persistent room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) through photoirradiation holds fundamental significance but remains a significant challenge. In this study, we engineered a wavelength-selective photoresponsive system utilizing the Förster resonance energy transfer strategy. This system integrates a photoactivated long-lived luminescent material as the energy donor with a fluorescent photoswitch as the energy acceptor, facilitating programmable persistent luminescence switches.

The realization of dual-mode information display in the same material is of great significance to the expansion of information capacity and the improvement of information security. However, the existing systems lose the ability to re-encode information once they are constructed. Here, dynamic metal-ligand coordination is introduced into a novel hydrogel-based optical platform that allows rewritable dual-mode information display.

Hydrogel-based iontronics is emerging as a promising frontier in healthcare and human-machine interfacing (HMI), offering excellent compatibility with biological systems in terms of electrical, chemical, and mechanical properties. However, conventional hydrogel systems have limitations in dynamically regulating their electrical and optical properties, which restricts their use in adaptive electronics and responsive interfaces. In this study, we present a new hydrogel system with UV photochemistry-induced reversible conductivity, enabling reversible changes in conductivity.
