See these samples?👇 They are actuators made by knitting liquid crystal elastomer fibers.

Here, researchers were able to design them with diverse 3D geometries and program them to have reversible deformability.

Watch the 📽️ and see what they can do 🐝: https://t.co/GGo3Cbzk6P

We had a blast cartooning for @RoySocChem's #RSCPoster last week, but so many people asked for a cartoon that we just didn't have time to get to in the 24hrs. So this is for all the people that asked so nicely, we hope you enjoy & we hope you go look up their posters!

Heating and then cooling this melt-electrowritten liquid crystal elastomer scaffold triggers a programmed mechanical response, which could be useful for soft robotics.
