On‐demand, ultra‐high precision delivery of molecules and cells is of great importance in the field of controlled release. In article number 1600410 , inspired by sea sponges, Lei Yang, Yuekun Lai, and co‐workers design and fabricate a biomimetic macroporous ceramic composite sponge which reveals unique precise AND logic release behaviors of molecules and cells in response to dual‐gates of moisture and pressure (or strain).
