  - 'We introduce a bioinspired microactuator fabricated via a one-step meniscus-guided
    3D nanoprinting technique. This technique directly produces a freestanding three-dimensional
    composite architecture by integrating a rigid nanoparticle framework with a hygroscopic
    polymer matrix in a single, assembly-free process. Inspired by the functional
    integration of rigid and compliant components in insect exoskeletal joint, our
    design synergistically combines load-bearing strength and humidity-driven swelling
    in a single microscale pillar. Comprehensive experiments, including comparative
    control structures and microscopic analysis, elucidated the actuation mechanism:
    the nanoparticle scaffold provides mechanical support while the polymeric phase
    provides volumetric expansion, yielding large reversible elongation under humidity
    with preserved structural integrity. The resulting AuNP–PVP microactuator shows
    humidity-responsive actuation at the microscale, with representative demonstrations
    of repeated humidity cycling and load lifting up to approximately 800 times its
    estimated own weight under the tested conditions. Variant geometries such as hinged
    pillars demonstrate how axial swelling can be converted into bending motion, and
    an optical configuration shows how actuation can modulate reflected light signals.
    This nanoprinting approach provides a simple strategy for constructing bioinspired
    soft microactuators with humidity-responsive deformation and potential applicability
    in microscale sensing, optical modulation, and adaptive microdevices.@eng'
