In article number 2005275, Horacio D. Espinosa, Daniel Lopez, and co‐workers demonstrate the engineering of nanoscale kirigami structures exhibiting a range of buckling‐induced controllable 3D configurations. By combining nanomanufacturing, in situ microscopy experimentation, and computational modeling, symmetric and asymmetric 3D configurations relevant to numerous applications are demonstrated, including kirigami‐based soft nanogrippers (robotics), light modulation, deformable electronics, and tunable metamaterials.
