Microscale 4D Printing In article number 2401950, Ada‐Ioana Bunea and co‐workers review microscale 4D printing, including relevant materials, fabrication technologies, and applications. The cover shows a modular microrobot concept comprising a cargo transport “head”, a magnetic “body” and a sensing “tail”. Here, smart materials such as liquid crystals, hydrogels, or composites facilitate the sensing and transport functions, while high‐resolution 4D printing enables fabrication.
