Front Cover: A bidirectional shape‐memory effect is realized for the first time between room (20 °C, 8‐shape) and body temperature (37 °C, S‐shape) by directed crystallization (blue) of pre‐oriented (red) actuator domains, which are capable to maintain the molecular orientation also in the molten state, defining the geometry of the reversible shape shifts. Further details can be found in the article by M. Saatchi, M. Behl,* U. Nöchel, and A. Lendlein* on page 880.
