Fig. 4

a Experimental setup for measuring the transformation of a cellophane film put above VPC-1. b Photographs of the cellophane film bent upward by the moisture from VPC-1. Scale bars: 5 mm. c Time-course change in the height of the film edge loaded with 0, 10, and 20 mg of silicone grease (red, blue, and green circles) upon irradiation with the pump light. d Plot of the bending height of the film loaded with 0, 10, and 20 mg of silicone grease (red, blue, and green circles) as a function of power density (P) of the pump light. e Changes of the bending height of the film when repeating the irradiation of pump light on VPC-1, activated carbon, and silica gel (red, blue, and green circles). f Time-course changes in the height of the film edge with and without the glass barrier (red and blue circles) inserted just before turning off the pump light as indicated by a red arrow. g Photographs of the comb-shaped film. The strips were individually actuated by spotting the pump light at different positions indicated by red arrows.
