Developing stronger and tougher structural metals such as steel requires exploring an enormous range of processing conditions. Even for the same alloy composition, heat treatment can dramatically change the material's microstructure and mechanical properties. If there were a way to automate the process, we could pinpoint ideal conditions much more efficiently.

However, experiments on bulk metallic materials are difficult to automate because they require handling solid specimens and integrating large, specialized equipment.

Tiny molecular changes, big microparticle deformation

Materials that change their shape upon exposure to light are attracting growing interest in applications such as soft robotics, microscale actuators and smart materials. However, the connection between molecular-level structural changes and larger-scale deformation remains incomp
