Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="admi201570019-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Facile fabrication of nanochannels by mechanical wrinkling/folding of a stiff skin formed on a soft polymer is demonstrated in article 1400493 by A. Vaziri, M.‐W. Moon, and co‐workers. The characteristic dimensions of the nanochannels are robustly tunable, and the configuration is repeatedly switchable between open and closed. The nanochannels can effectively be used to trap and release nanoparticles "on demand". <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh3w99bbgp" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
