Creating tunable and reversible surfaces is an interesting challenge with no single solution. On page 3641, M. Guttag and M. C. Boyce present a new approach using a composite of stiff particles embedded into a soft matrix which provides a wide range of tunable and locally controllable surface topographies. By applying an external load to the composite, complex surface topographies take shape. (Photo credit: Felice C. Frankel.)
