Morphing of liquid crystal surfaces by emergent collectivity

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Liquid crystal networks can morph their shape in response to electrical stimulus. Here the authors provide a detailed description of their deformation mechanism and introduce a method to observe the dynamic surface of liquid crystal elastomers.
