Temperature‐Responsive Microgels In article number 2107946, Svetlana Santer and co‐workers demonstrate that at any fixed temperature in the range between 32 °C and 80 °C, one can reversibly change the radius of the microgel up to 3 times (7 μm to 21 μm) by irradiating either with UV (shrunken state) or green light (swollen state).
