In article number 1801821 , David L. Officer and co‐workers break new ground in fluidic chemical transport by guiding organic droplets containing a photoisomerisable material through water with precision and control using light. The droplets can not only be remotely moved from one point to another in a container, but can also be guided to pick up cargo and transfer it to another site to undergo a chemical reaction.
