Fig. 1

a Schematic of a compact microfluidic manipulation device that can sense the liquid temperature and control the liquid flow by employing a twisted hollow-fibre actuator. b Schematic of the tensile hollow-fibre actuator used for sensing the liquid temperature and sorting the liquid into the desired cell. c Comparison of the heterochiral and homochiral PEHF580-990 actuators driven by 95 °C water and air. d Images of the coiled and twisted hollow-fibre actuators.
