Voxelated liquid crystal elastomers
Abstract
Making small actuators more effective: Liquid-crystal molecules orient locally in response to external fields. When long-chain liquid-crystalline molecules are crosslinked together, changes in local orientation can lead to significant volume changes. Ware et al. made efficient microactuators that can change their shape from flat to three-dimensional structures (see the Perspective by Verduzco). By patterning volume elements so that each has a different preferred alignment for the liquid-crystalline molecules, they could fine-tune the volume changes.

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.
