Elasticity‐Plasticity Transformation The behavior of most materials is either reversible (elastic) or irreversible (plastic), but not switchable. In article number 2206637 by Xinyuan Wang, Zhiqiang Meng, and Chang Qing Chen, a robotic material that can switch between elasticity and plasticity is demonstrated. This cover shows the robotic material can be controlled to recover to its original shape or keep its present shape upon complete unloading. The robot‐like texture of the stretched material in the picture is the introduced robotic material.
