Summary
Light-responsive liquid crystal thin films are an exciting area in soft actuator technology due to their ability to transform optical energy into mechanical motion. These materials leverage the unique properties of liquid crystal molecules, which can reorient in response to light stimuli, particularly UV or visible light. This reorientation changes the alignment of the molecules within the film, causing it to contract, expand, or bend depending on the light's wavelength, intensity, and angle.
