Abstract

Programmable Heterogeneous Microactuators In their Research Article (10.1002/adfm.202519908), Lisha Fan, Huaping Wu, and co-workers present a heterogeneous microactuator that combines mechanical robustness with rapid responsiveness, fabricated via femtosecond laser two-photon polymerization. By integrating pH-responsive hydrogels and magnetically active components, they have created a micro-scorpion capable of the programmable capture, transport, and release of microscale objects. This microrobot's ability to reconfigure its shape locally and navigate remotely exhibits promising potential for applications in precision drug delivery and cellular-level micromanipulation.
