The inside cover shows a hierarchically structured assembly of organic polymer microsieves prepared and characterized by W. A. Goedel and co‐authors ( page 1551 ). A “coarse” structure was prepared by phase‐separation micromolding and covered by a “fine” structure, which was prepared by float‐casting. These assemblies of microsieves can be handled manually without special precaution, despite the sub‐micrometer thicknesses of the fine structure. The assembly shown here was used in a filtration experiment and is decorated with retained particles.
