Dandelion‐Inspired, Wind‐Dispersed Polymer‐Assembly Controlled by Light (Adv. Sci. 7/2023)

A Passive Flier In article number 2206752, Hao Zeng and co-workers report a soft actuator assembly capable of windassisted dispersal and lift-off/landing action under the control of a light beam. The design is inspired by the seed of dandelion, resembling several biomimetic features, i.e., high porosity, lightweight, and separated vortex ring generation under a steady wind flow.
