Fig. 4. Demonstration of an eight-arm FFE shape-shifting device.

Fig. 4

a Top view of the shrinking and subsequent expansion upon cooling. Scale bar: 1.0 cm. b Quantitative time evolution of the device diameter. c Dual opposite actions enabling the device to pass through the small hole. Scale bar: 1.0 cm. d Light triggered spatial actuation and the subsequent FFE transformation. The sample in cool water was exposed by near IR light (808 nm) at the framed location for 20 s. Subsequent photos at different times show the FFE behavior. Scale bar: 0.5 cm.
