In article number 1804421 , Qiang Huang, Tatsuo Arai, and co‐workers report a multifunctional noncontact micromanipulation method using whirling flow generated by vibrating a single piezo actuator, which is capable of immobilization, transportation and rotation of objects in microscale. It can be a powerful tool in micro‐assembly, 3D observation of biological objects and operation of egg cells.
