Fig. 2 Quantitative evaluation of the photo-defined reversible actuation. (A) Impact of irradiation time and Rc on the actuation strain (prestretch strain is maintained constant at 400%). (B) Dependence of actuation strain on prestretch strain (Rc, 0.47; irradiation time, 120 s). (C) Cyclic actuation at the maximum actuation strain of 40% (Rc, 0.47; irradiation time, 120 s; prestretch strain, 400%). (D) Visual demonstration of the maximum reversible actuation strain of 40% (photo-irradiated active regions are marked in red for better visualization).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
