Nanoscale Motors Twist Chains in Polymer Gel When Activated by Light

When activated by light, these nanoscale motors twist the polymer chains in the gel, which as a result contracts by several centimeters. Another advantage is that the new material is able to store the light energy absorbed. This paper is published in ...
