Random Micro‐Biolasers Micro‐sized random lasers made with organic materials are interesting for many photonic applications, but their fabrication is challenging. In article number 2100036 , Van Duong Ta, Riccardo Sapienza, and co‐workers demonstrate a versatile technique for fabricating micro‐scale random lasers with diameters ranging from 30 to 160 μm. The lasers are synthesized from dye‐doped polyvinyl alcohol or bovine serum albumin and have a microporous structure with pores of 1.28 μm.
