Tunable Surfaces: Real‐Time Manipulation with Magnetically Tunable Structures (Adv. Mater. 37/2014)
Source abstract
Abstract
A flexible uniform responsive microstructure (μFUR) array is reported by E. N. Wang and co-workers, on page 6442. The μFUR has continuous and extreme tilt angles via the application of a magnetic field and is used to dynamically manipulate liquid spreading directionality, control fluid drag, and tune optical transmittance over a large range.
