D.‐P. Kim and co‐workers present the fabrication of monolithic 3D porous silica structures into a multilayer framework with bimodal pore size distribution on page 1473 . The structure becomes monolithic upon pyrolyzing the stacked layers, and then easily embedded in microchannel with the aid of photolithography, leading to a microfluidic system with built‐in microstructure in a site‐ and shape‐controlled manner.
