Abstract

Abstract : Adaptive Photovoltaics In article number 2201884, Ling Wang, Wei Feng, Quan Li, and co‐workers report bioinspired phototropic MXene‐reinforced soft tubular actuators exhibiting omnidirectional self‐orienting and light‐tracking capability. An adaptive photovoltaic system with solar energy harvesting maximization is conceptualized by integrating the soft tubular actuator with commercially available solar panels.
