Abstract: Realization of muscle‐like actuation for a liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) requires mesogen alignment, which is typically achieved/fixed chemically during the synthesis. Post‐synthesis regulation of the alignment in a convenient and repeatable manner is highly desirable… read more here.

Abstract: Interventional embolization has been widely used as a clinical cancer therapy, which deactivates the tumors by occluding their blood supply vessels. However, conventional methods lack active control over the embolic particles, thus having a limited… read more here.
