In article number 1700170 , Burak Gerislioglu and co‐workers successfully introduce a novel, smart, and reconfigurable antenna platform that can control virtually the entire planar antenna pattern through a phase transition process with an integrated individually addressable microheater matrix. Combined with the low‐temperature and fast phase‐transition process of vanadium dioxide (VO 2 ), this technique opens new doors to the possibility of creating novel reconfigurable antenna structures with reduced phase‐change temperature increment and time.
