Create graphene paper can be folded and "walk" alone

A team of Chinese researchers has developed a paper type based on the graphene which acts in different ways once it is subjected to temperature changes. You can bend, fold and twist up itself, as if by magic.
But it's not magic or witchcraft, but simply science. The paper is based on graphene oxide and has a number of active regions on its surface which respond to changes in climate. During his shows, the scientists applied heat on him using an infrared laser and its response was bent in different ways, to "walk" so funny (due to the crease formed therein).
Beyond the funny thing about this role and how successful it would be in any magic show in a child's birthday party, the idea of ​​the team of researchers is that this new material, the cost is really low, sensors can be included in acting in different ways when subjected to temperature changes, moisture or pH in the near future. The full study is available to read on the following link. [ Science Advances way Science Magazine ] icid 2016
