	abstract = {Surface\&nbsp;micropatterning enhances the interfacial sliding resistance of\&nbsp;magnetorheological fluid\&nbsp;at low\&nbsp;magnetic field\&nbsp;(10{\textendash}35 mT).\&nbsp;Fluid\&nbsp;is confined to\&nbsp;surfacemicrochannels, resulting in the formation of spatially aligned\&nbsp;magnetic domains.\&nbsp;The channels are supported by a pair of overlapping ribbons, which, along with the surrounding\&nbsp;fluid,\&nbsp;are enclosed in a soft\&nbsp;elastomer.\&nbsp;The embedded\&nbsp;elastomer\&nbsp;represents an electromagnetic alternative to current methods of active stiffness control that are based on principles of gel hydration, particle jamming, and pneumatics.},
