Abstract: A natural polysaccharide-based smart photo-actuator is fabricated via electrospinning of cellulose 4-phenyl azobenzoate (Azo-Cel) from its organic solution in a mixture of high-volatile acetone, a poor solvent of Azo-Cel, and low-volatile N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), a good… read more here.

Abstract: Many interesting deformations in nature inspire us to develop novel mechanical systems. Here, a helical gripper was inspired by the predation motion of pythons. It grasped an object by twisting around it, which is different… read more here.
