Complex oscillatory behaviors of living cells are demonstrated by R. Yoshida, T. Ueki, and R. Tamate in their Communication on page 5179 ff. by using a biomimetic colloidosome composed of self‐oscillating microgels that exhibit autonomous shape oscillations with buckling deformations driven by an oscillatory chemical reaction. The resulting oscillatory waveform profile becomes markedly more complex than that of conventional self‐oscillating materials.
