A shape‐shifting device for endovascular therapy of intracranial aneurysms was designed by Yingtao Liu, Chung‐Hao Lee and co‐workers, as described in the article, number 2100322 . The electrically activated device was fabricated by infiltrating carbon nanotubes in a porous polyurethane matrix. The thermomechanical properties of the composite and their implications for its clinical application are comprehensively assessed in this study. (Image designed by Ryan A. Bodlak.)
