Towards a soft magnetoelastic twist actuator

Soft actuators allow external stimuli to transform into mechanical deformations. Because of their deformational response to external magnetic fields, magnetic gels and elastomers are ideal candidates for such tasks. Mostly, linear magnetostrictive deformations, that is, elongations or contractions a...
