 Our recent research on "Controlling Liquid Crystal Orientations for Programmable Anisotropic Transformations in Cellular Microstructures" have featured a cover picture on Advanced Materials ([https://onlinelibrary-wiley-com.ezp-prod1.hul.harvard.edu/doi/10.1002/a…](https://onlinelibrary-wiley-com.ezp-prod1.hul.harvard.edu/doi/10.1002/adma.202170327)).

 In article number [2105024](https://doi-org.ezp-prod1.hul.harvard.edu/10.1002/adma.202105024), Joanna Aizenberg, Katia Bertoldi, and co-workers report that by programming independently anisotropy at the molecular and structural levels, unprecedented director-determined symmetry breaking can be realized in microcellular structures made of liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs). These can be exploited to achieve switchable and direction-dependent frictional properties as well as to modulate light.
