Back Cover: Poly‐( N ‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) hydrogel films doped with uniaxially aligned liquid crystalline nanosheets are synthesized with the help of an electric field. The gels are printed with a photo‐responsive dye pattern with μm‐scale resolution. The photo‐irradiated gel shows temporal expansion along one direction followed by anisotropic shrinkage, which is an anomalous behavior for a conventional PNIPA gel. Further details can be found in the article by T. Inadomi, S. Ikeda, Y. Okumura, H. Kikuchi, and N. Miyamoto* on page 1741.
