When metamaterials are arranged in a stretchable platform, their practical applications (e.g., reconfigurable optoelectronic devices and biological sensors) can be greatly extended. B. Min and co‐workers take inspiration from the wrinkled structures of various bio‐organisms to develop a generic strategy for reversibly stretchable metamaterials. The structural integrities of the wrinkled THz metamaterials described on page 3491 remain intact after repeated stretching/relaxing, and the wrinkled metamaterial makes a mechanically reversible transition between artificial homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadenings.
