This work shows the successful integration of intrinsic bistability into thermoresponsive soft microactuators, fabricated by two‐photon polymerization utilizing the (E)–(Z)‐isomerization of azobenzenes. The bistable behavior accounts for a reversible volume change of Azo_pNIPAM microactuators initiated by light irradiation, at constant ambient ...

Mimicking Life: Autonomous Oscillating Artificial Cilia Driven by Chemical Power
The synthesis and motion analysis of chemically actuated, individually autonomous artificial cilia are presented. Driven by an internal chemical reaction, the self‐driven individual cilia require no external stimuli. They undergo periodic oscillatory motion with a 3D beat pattern and exhibit chemotactic shifts, reminiscent of biological systems.
