Published in 2025 at "Advanced Functional Materials"

DOI: 10.1002/adfm.202516218

Abstract: Soft artificial muscles offer transformative potential in robotics, wearable electronics, and biomedical devices due to their light weight, mechanical compliance, and multidirectional actuation. However, their broader utility is hindered by an intrinsic trade‐off between stretchability… read more here.
