Chiral cellular solids have auxetic effects induced by internal cell rotation. The chiralityinduced rotation enables auxetic effects under both small and large deformation. The auxetic effects can be significantly amplified by increasing the internal rotation efficiency. A new family of chiral cellular composites is developed by adding center cores or softer corner hinges. As proof of concept, the new designs were 3D‐printed via multi‐material printing. Further details can be found in article 1600609 by Yaning Li and co‐workers.
