On page 2964 Eduardo Mendes and co‐workers report the production of large arrays of multi‐responsive hydrogel cilia using microfabrication techniques. The cilia operate in aqueous solutions and are sensitive to pH, electric, and/or magnetic fields. Electrically stimulated cilia reversibly reduce their size by more than 80%. In the case of magnetoresposnive cilia, high‐speed rotational movement is achieved. In addition, a biomimetic system that combines pHsensor triggered motility is presented.
