Abstract

Abstract : Front Cover : In article number1900270, Tao Wang, Zhen Tong, and co‐workers prepare a combinational hydrogel‐xerogel actuator by combining a wet and soft hydrogel and its dry and rigid xerogel. This actuator, which has the capability of NIR‐driven shape memory, can be envisioned in a Chinese legend as the "magic hand" that brings a cowherd and weaver together to transcend their forbidden love.
