In article number 1800121 , Leonard Klevan, Utkan Demirci, and co‐workers develop a bio‐inspired microfluidic chip used to accelerate analysis of forensic sexual assault evidence. A unique oligosaccharide sequence and specific surface chemistry allow separation of sperm from epithelial cells in forensic evidence. This method significantly reduces assay‐time, accelerating identification of suspects and advancing public safety.
