COgITOR Readings PodCast
11. Emiliano Descrovi: Converting light polarization into mechanical actuation

The COgITOR Readings Committee is releasing the presentations in form of podcasts to the broad audience.
Prof. Descrovi discusses how azocompounds can be exploited as light responsive additives in composite soft materials, whose sensitivity to light polarization provides a means to remotely control their shape. An exciting upcoming technology of light-activated devices is now reality.
