Abstract
4D Printed Biomimetic Swimmers In article number 2308561, Carlos Sánchez-Somolinos and coworkers showcase a 4D-printed liquid crystalline elastomer (LCE) swimmer propelled by moderate UV and green light, eliminating the need for lasers or tracking systems, enabling versatile creation of light-powered robotic LCE free-swimmers.
