Enhancing the photothermally induced natural vibration of crystals via resonance with UV irradiation

Caption

Researchers from Japan have demonstrated high-frequency and large resonated natural vibrations in anisole single crystals driven by pulsed UV radiation at the natural vibration frequency of the crystal. Their research has immense potential for advancing the field of soft robotics and versatile actuation technology.
