Flexible magnetic composites for light-controlled actuation and interfaces
Abstract
This approach offers a platform for controlled, light-induced motion with easily accessible equipment and facile manufacturing processes. Utility can be envisioned for flexible, simple, and cost-effective actuators from the micro- to the macroscale. Additional opportunity is offered by the ability of these composites to perform heliotactic motion, enabling formats that respond and track light sources such as the sun.
