A facile method for fabricating a polymeric convex lens and controlling of its focal length through single‐step electrostatic printing is presented by J. Chang and co‐workers, in article number 1800108 . The method utilizes electrostatic force to pull the polymer droplet to form the lens, as well as to accelerate the droplet to control the curvature of the lens simultaneously.
