Real-time manipulation with magnetically tunable structures. Academic Article

abstract

• Magnetically tunable micropillar arrays with uniform, continuous and extreme tilt angles for real-time manipulation are reported. We experimentally show uniform tilt angles ranging from 0 to 57, and develop a model to accurately capture the behavior. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the flexible uniform responsive microstructures (FUR) can dynamically manipulate liquid spreading directionality, control fluid drag, and tune optical transmittance over a large range.
