Aspherical optical lenses with spatially varying curvature are desired for capturing high quality, aberration free images in numerous applications. Conventionally such prepared by multistep top-down processes which expensive, time-consuming, and prone to failure rate. In this context, an alternate method is presented here based on arrested spreading of a sessile drop transparent, cross-linkable polymeric liquid solid substrate heated elevated temperature.

We report x-ray photoelectron spectra from a porous silicon film (PSF) with photoluminescence peak at 1.8 eV, as function of argon ion etching time to probe the composition in surface and subsurface regions. The results clearly indicate that layer is essentially fluorine admixed SiO2 phase, while Si:O:F region 2:1:0.2. With possibility existence hydrogen this it appears beyond highly oxidized surface, PSF substituted siloxene derivative, which can be responsible for visible photoluminescence.

Soft electronic skin (soft-e-skin) capable of sensing touch and pressure similar to human is essential in many applications, including robotics, healthcare, augmented reality.

Slithering, crawling, slipping, and gliding are various modes of limbless locomotion that have been mimicked for micro-manipulation soft, slender sessile objects. A lesser known mode is rolling which involves periodic, asymmetric lateral muscular deformations.
