An origami‐based cellular structure with in situ switching between collapsible and load‐bearing states is developed, as described in the article number 1900562 by Jinkyu Yang and co‐workers. Tachi‐Miura polyhedron is employed to design a volumetric reconfigurable structure. Prototypes made of paper sheets achieve the enhancement of the load‐bearing capability by two orders of magnitude.
