Protruding organic surfaces triggered by in-plane electric fields

Effective haptic interfaces are advantageous for technology that involves human-computer interaction. Here Liu et al. fabricate thin liquid crystal polymer network coatings which can be modulated by applying an alternating electric field; such switchable topography could be applied to haptic interfa...
