Dual‐Responsive Yarn‐Based Artificial Muscles for Adaptive Thermal Management
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 17, 23 March 2026.Inspired by the conscious movements of skeletal muscle, a novel hybrid yarn‐based artificial muscle (HYAM) coupling moisture actuation with controllable recovery is developed. This unique design increases actuation stroke by 128% and shortens recovery time by 91%. This unique design enhances the actuation stroke by 128% and reduces the recovery time by
