Scientists at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands and �þ���ҹ����ӰԺ��ѹۿ� have developed a new material that can undulate and therefore propel itself forward under the influence of light. To achieve this, the scientists clamp a strip of this polymer material in a rectangular frame. When illuminated, it goes for a walk all on its own. This small device, the size of a paperclip, is the world’s first machine to convert light directly into walking, simply using one fixed light source. The researchers, including Professor Robin Selinger of �þ���ҹ����ӰԺ��ѹۿ� State’s Liquid Crystal Institute® ...
