Abstract
Liquid Metal Chameleon Tongues – Bioinspired Soft Actuators
Article number 2400231 by Hongda Lu, Shi-Yang Tang, Weihua Li, and co-workers presents a bio-inspired liquid metal soft actuator inspired by the predation behavior of chameleons. By delicately modulating its surface tension and phase transition, the actuator achieves reciprocating motion, exhibiting high strain rate, enhanced adhesive force, and reconfigurability. These superior performances highlight a potential in cargo delivery, complex 2D motion, and advanced smart mechatronics.
