In article number 1800528 , Sangchul Roh, Orlin D. Velev, and co‐workers present a new class of 3D‐printed soft mesh actuators floating on water. They exhibit reversible and programmable shape reconfiguration via combined magnetic and capillary forces. The silicone meshes can carry single droplets of water and dispense them on demand.
