Abstract:Mechanics enabled by photon absorption generates work from materials and is perhaps one of the most important applications of light-active matter, which mediates an intensity-tostress transduction and moves in intensity gradients. Photomechanics can be put at work in surface structuring of materials, which has applications in several areas of science and engineering including photonics and biology and medicine. We demonstrate that photosensitive materials can be unexpectedly micro-and nanotextured by single-st… Show more
