Front Cover : In article number 1900191, Bhuvnesh Bharti and co‐workers present a new approach for printing silica poly( N ‐isopropylacrylamide) thermoresponsive nanocomposites into monolayer networks using laser as a remote crosslinking source. The reconfiguration of the printed structure upon heating is pre‐programmed by the geometry of the printed network, which provides a new design principle for fabricating adaptive materials with shape‐changing abilities.
