Photonics glasses (PGs) are materials composed of monodisperse spherical particles which exhibit resonant behavior regarding their interaction with light. By stepwise infiltrating them with conformal layers of silica, Á. Blanco and co‐workers show on page 352 that their transparency may be further tailored and demonstrate a significant change on the light mean free path within a range of one order of magnitude. This method shows promise for tuning the amplified emission of PGs.
