New types of 2D and 3D stimuli‐responsive materials can be constructed by integrating molecular machines as part of their building blocks. The transfer of mechanical actuations from the nanometric scale to the macroscopic one can be supported by several transmission processes and offers a potential pathway to active functional materials for applications in medicine, information technologies, and robotics.
