Abstract

Abstract : In article number1808995, Zunfeng Liu and co‐workers develop a tri‐layered bimorph actuator that shows a fast response, large bending amplitude, and small temperature change. Building on these advancements, a light‐mill based on the wing‐flapping mechanism upon light irradiation is designed.
