A flexible uniform responsive microstructure (μFUR) array is reported by E. N. Wang and co‐workers, on page 6442. The μFUR has continuous and extreme tilt angles via the application of a magnetic field and is used to dynamically manipulate liquid spreading directionality, control fluid drag, and tune optical transmittance over a large range.
