Abstract
was found to transduce light and amplify the self-waveguided emission efficiently along the crystal body in the elastically bent state, demonstrating its multifunctional applications in flexible optical devices. This study is of great scientific significance not only to engineer mechanical compliance of organic crystals but also to highlight the utility of "crystal flexibility".
