Soft Actuators In article number 2100006 , Ki‐Uk Kyung and co‐workers present a powerful soft actuator design, in which surface charge inducing polymer film and dielectric liquid coupled design are synergized. By the electric field, negative charges in the polymer film migrate into and accumulate at the surface of the film. High electrostatic force contributes to the design of powerful deformable actuators for haptic interface, tunable lens and wearable applications.
