  • Superior mechanical properties in natural composites are frequently achieved by the inclusion of locally orientated reinforcing particles. Here, the authors implement this design strategy synthetically by employing a 3D magnetic printing protocol to create programmable composite architectures.

  • Many living organisms use materials that are capable of changing their shape in response to changes in the environment. Erb et al. demonstrate an approach to synthesizing artificial shape-changing composites that replicate such behaviour.

  • Heterogeneous composite materials, which are potentially useful for flexible electronics, are widespread in nature but synthetic examples are rare. Here, a site-specific hierarchical approach is used to fabricate composites with extreme local variations in elastic modulus and which are reversibly stretchable.

  • Assembling complex structures out of simple colloidal building blocks can produce materials with important practical properties and enables enhanced understanding of the self-assembly processes on several length scales. This paper shows self-assembly of a multi-component colloidal mixture of magnetic and nonmagnetic particles driven by magnetic interactions.
