Programmable mechanochromic systems hold important roles in designing advanced bionic robots and colorimetric devices. Herein, the authors report the development of magnetic-plasmonic hybrid nanorods that can be integrated into thin polymer films with controlled orientations to display programmable mechanochromism.
