提出了软晶体的新材料概念。软晶体会对温和的刺激（例如蒸汽暴露和摩擦）做出反应，但会保持其结构秩序，并在形状、颜色和发光方面表现出显着的视觉变化。文章中介绍了软晶体的各种有趣的例子。通过跨学科合作探索软晶体有趣的形成和相变现象，有望开发出兼具有序硬晶体和柔性软物质特性的新材料。
A new material concept of soft crystals is proposed. Soft crystals respond to gentle stimuli such as vapor exposure and rubbing but maintain their structural order and exhibit remarkable visual changes in their shape, color, and luminescence. Various interesting examples of soft crystals are introduced in the article. By exploring the interesting formation and phase-transition phenomena of soft crystals through interdisciplinary collaboration, new materials having both the characteristics of ordered hard crystals and those of flexible soft matter are expected.
