Coiled Artificial Muscles
In article number 2210419, Zhen Jiang, Geoffrey M. Spinks, and co‐workers introduce a liquid crystalline organogel combined into a twisted and coiled fiber geometry to generate a powerful soft artificial muscle with fast response to small temperature changes.
Polymeric gel‐based artificial muscles exhibiting tissue‐matched Young's modulus (10 Pa–1 MPa) promise to be core components in future soft machines with inherently safe human–machine interactions. However, the ability to simultaneously generate fast, large, high‐power, and long‐lasting actuation in the open‐air environment, has yet been demonstrated in this class of ultra‐soft materials. Herein,...
