    Microgels to Colloidosomes
  title_type: original
  lang: en

## Description

- description: Inspired by living systems, hierarchical materials have been developed
    to integrate multiple levels of organization, enabling complex behaviors to emerge
    from interactions among simpler components. However, understanding how dynamic
    behaviors are transduced across hierarchical levels in synthetic materials remains
    a major challenge. Here, we demonstrate the cross-hierarchical transduction of
    dynamic behaviors in life-like autonomous materials by investigating self-oscillating
    colloidosomes as a model system. Self-oscillating colloidosomes are composed of
    self-oscillating microgels, which exhibit autonomous flocculation/dispersion oscillation
    driven by a self-promoted Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction at certain temperatures.
    We identified chemomechanical transduction across hierarchical levels in self-oscillating
    colloidosomes under out-of-equilibrium conditions. The self-oscillating colloidosomes
    exhibited swelling/deswelling or shape deformation oscillations in a stochastic
    manner, originating from flocculation/dispersion oscillations at the microgel
    level. We found that the choice between these two oscillation modes is determined
    by the oscillation modes of their constituent self-oscillating microgels. These
    findings pave the way for the cross-hierarchical design of chemically powered
    autonomous materials.
