In article number 1802107 , Ho Cheung Shum and co‐workers demonstrate an approach to produce high‐order, up to quadruple, all‐aqueous emulsion drops, which are initiated by osmosis‐induced phase separation from non‐equilibrium aqueous two‐phase systems on a glass‐based microfluidic platform. The complexity of the generated all‐aqueous emulsion drops is well predicted in a phase diagram, providing a strategy to fabricate all‐aqueous emulsions with a tunable high‐order structure.
