Mechanomorphogenic Films In article number 2104223, Scott H. Medina and co‐workers exploit fluorous–air–water interfaces to template the assembly of fluorinated amino acids into mechanomorphogenic thin films. These adaptive, crystalline materials change their macroscopic state in response to various mechanical and chemical signals, can self‐heal when damaged, and show selective permeability, capturing fluorous compounds from contaminated water samples.
