Autonomous Folding of Soft Matter From Living Polymers

Yellow folded polymer structures on the October 27, 2026 inside front cover of Advanced Materials

Description

The inside front cover of Advanced Materials (volume 38, issue 60, October 27, 2026) illustrates “living origami.” As the polymer creases grow, their size and stiffness change. This lets the same sheet fold into different shapes, even after fabrication.
