Light-controlled artificial muscles: Researchers develop shape-shifting materials
SMRTR summary
Researchers at FAU are building artificial muscles from tiny molecular machines — nanomotors, gears, and tweezers — that shift shape when exposed to light pulses. Backed by €900,000 in funding, the project could produce programmable materials that turn rigid or elastic on command, plus rewritable 3D displays.
