Mechanical adaptability of artificial muscles from nanoscale molecular action
The cooperative motion of artificial molecular machines has led to materials that respond to light with changing shape but also with softening. Here the authors describe a phase-heterogeneous liquid crystal material in which the action of molecular switches leads to morphing and stiffening, by enhan...

description |
The cooperative motion of artificial molecular machines has led to materials that respond to light with changing shape but also with softening. Here the authors describe a phase-heterogeneous liquid crystal material in which the action of molecular switches leads to morphing and stiffening, by enhancement of interfacial tension. |
