along two arbitrary in-plane directions is reported. The two-step process involves the formation of preferentially aligned lamellar micro/nanostructures through a bidirectional freeze-casting process, followed by compression annealing, synergistically contributing to extraordinary resistance to fatigue crack propagation. The study provides a viable means of fabricating soft materials with isotropically extreme properties, thereby unlocking paths to apply these advanced soft materials toward applications including soft robotics, flexible electronics, e-skins, and tissue patches.
