The direction, time, and duration of mechanical deformation on soft material can be tracked using reaction–diffusion systems. In article number 1905779, Bilge Baytekin and co‐workers show that, similar to the environmental changes affecting the final pattern of a tree's life rings, various mechanical inputs can lead to numerous different patterns in hydrogels, and these patterns can be used in complex patterning of material.
