In article number 1801595 , by decorating synthetic mussel‐inspired copolymer with thermosensitivity onto the Fe 3 O 4 ‐doped mushroomed pillars, Feng Zhou and co‐workers report an intelligent thermoresponsive gecko adhesive (TRGA) that can realize remote control over wet adhesion underwater. The TRGA can be assembled on the tracks of an underwater mobile device to realize controllable movement under near‐infrared (NIR) laser radiation based on the photothermal effect of Fe 3 O 4 .
