The back‐cover image displays an artistic scheme of micropatterned photonic film that is composed of cholesteric organized cellulose nanocrystals and a monolayer of single‐crystal polystyrene microspheres, as demonstrated in article number 2002258 by Guang Chu and Orlando J. Rojas. Both bottom‐up self‐assembly of the micro/nano building blocks and top‐down transfer imprinting approach are involved in the preparation process, providing a custom‐tailored route to integrate polarization‐sensitive retroreflection and microlens array in one structure.
