Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Enough to make your hair curl</bold>! Moisture‐responsive graphene (G) fibers can be prepared by the positioned laser reduction of graphene oxide (GO) counterparts. When exposed to moisture, the asymmetric G/GO fibers display complex, well‐controlled motion/deformation in a predetermined manner. These fibers can function not only as a single‐fiber walking robot under humidity alternation but also as a new platform for woven devices and smart textiles.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg3h9m39mj" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
