Atomic-layer-deposited titanium-platinum actuators that "walk": a talk with only ~2k views
Promptmethus · x · 2026-10-06
Quoting khoomeik: a team uses atomic layer deposition to create titanium-platinum actuators that "walk" when electrochemically stimulated.
The author notes the researcher's talk from last year has only 2k views on YouTube, and jokes about how this updates their "grey goo timelines" — implying such autonomous micro-structures are wildly underrated.
