Enough to make your hair curl ! Moisture‐responsive graphene (G) fibers can be prepared by the positioned laser reduction of graphene oxide (GO) counterparts. When exposed to moisture, the asymmetric G/GO fibers display complex, well‐controlled motion/deformation in a predetermined manner. These fibers can function not only as a single‐fiber walking robot under humidity alternation but also as a new platform for woven devices and smart textiles.
