Paper can be turned into an actuator by applying a thin layer of conducting thermoplastic by 3D printing, or even by hand, according to Carnegie Mellon University. When current is fed through the thermoplastic – off-the-shelf graphene polyactide composite – it heats and expands causing the paper to bend or fold – an process which ...
