Controlled by light alone, new smart materials twist, bend and move: Technology paves way for intelligent solar cells, other highly efficient devices programmed at the macro and nano scale – Science Daily
Engineers created light-activated materials that execute precise movements and form complex shapes without the need for wires, motors or other energy sources. The…
Researchers at Tufts University School of Engineering have created light-activated composite devices able to execute precise, visible movements and form complex three-dimensional shapes without the need for wires or other actuating materials or energy sources. The design combines programmable photonic crystals with an elastomeric composite that can be engineered at the macro and nano scale to respond to illumination.The research provides new avenues for the development of smart light-driven systems…
