In article number 1802769 , Sungyoung Choi and co‐workers demonstrate how a whole microfluidic system can be easily assembled using optofluidic modular blocks, and the standardized, self‐interlocking structures of the blocks enable easy assembly and reconfiguration of the blocks in an intuitive manner, which is suitable as an open‐source principle for shareable microfluidics technology.
