Path‐guided wrinkling enables the fabrication of defect‐free and arbitrary‐shaped wrinkle patterns. R. Huang, Q. Liu, and co‐workers describe on page 3010 an approach for the production of well‐defined wrinkle structures using laser direct writing to make guiding paths in a metal/polymer bilayer, followed by thermal heating. They also introduce a new concept of the unit‐wrinkle, through which more complex surface structures can be quantitatively designed and realized. This approach is suitable for making wavy‐surfaced complexities and devices.
