New hydrogel stretches, contracts like a heat-driven muscle

10 agosto 2015

A new hydrogel that works like an artificial muscle — quickly stretching and contracting in response to changing temperature — has been developed by researchers. They have also managed to use the polymer to build an L-shaped object that slowly walks forward as the temperature is repeatedly raised and lowered.
