In article number 2000279, Denys Makarov, Yongfeng Mei and co‐workers report a cost‐effective fabrication method of Janus micromotors by capping hydrogel microspheres with functional nanoparticles. The image demonstrates a potential environmental application of the multifunctional Janus particles – they are guided relying on the interaction with an external magnetic field and perform useful tasks on water cleaning from pollutants (represented by blue colored spheres).
