Deskripsi

Shape morphing materials are usually difficult to operate in a continuous fashion. Nie et al. fabricate stripes with liquid crystalline elastomers that can be given a Möbius-like morphology with seamless material composition, and perpetually driven under photothermally induced actuation.
