What the current evidence supports

Track; not yet
- Why
- Genuinely novel, peer-reviewed (Advanced Science) motor-free light-actuated SMA mechanism with a named lab and clear differentiation from coating-based predecessors, but it is a single-paper lab demonstration (letter-display sized) with no independent replication, no quantified performance envelope, and no evidence supporting the space-structures framing in the candidate brief — too early for adoption guidance, not weak enough to dismiss.
- Next
- Re-check in 2-3 quarters for a follow-up KAIST paper or industry license/partnership with quantified force/deployment-accuracy/cycle-life data before elevating readiness or citing space-structure use cases.
