Ferroelastic deformation in crystals occurs when the direction of a mechanical force is switched, thereby inducing a reversible change in macroscopic strain while transferring an interface that separates two crystal domains. In their Communication on page 15882 ff., S. Takamizawa et al. describe the macroscopic behavior, microscopic mechanism, and mechanical properties of rare organic ferroelasticity in crystals of 5‐chloro‐2‐nitroaniline.
