Light-Triggered Soft Artificial Muscles: Molecular-Level Amplification of Actuation Control Signals
Abstract The principle of control signal amplification is found in all actuation systems, from engineered devices through to the operation of biological muscles. However, current engineering approaches require the use of hard and bulky external switches or valves, incompatible with both the properti...
