Abstract

Abstract : Soft Actuators The cover picture illustrates a soft magneto‐responsive gripper that catches a blueberry mid‐flight. The gripper, presented in article number 2000283 by André R. Studart and co‐workers, is made from a silicone composite with strontium ferrite particles and is programmed to actuate under the action of an external magnetic field. It can lift up to 100 times its own weight and fully closes in less than 0.5 seconds.
