Abstract

Chiral Photonic Micromotors Liquid crystalline polymers present an attractive option for the development of soft micro- and nanorobots. In article number 2207095, Kristiaan Neyts and co-workers report on chiral photonic microparticles that show light-induced uni- and bidirectional spinning and speed control. The results offer a new approach to create light-powered rotary micromotors at the micrometer scale.
