Visible light is an easily achievable and mild trigger for self‐healing materials. By incorporating dynamic diselenide bonds into polyurethane, visible‐light‐induced self‐healing materials can be fabricated. Besides mild visible light, the healing process can also be realized using directional laser irradiation, which makes the system a remotely controllable self‐healing system.
