In article number 1804171 , Xiang Yang Liu and co‐workers investigate the self‐collimation effect on fluorescence emission, and the design of a silk fluorescence collimator is applied to a humidity sensor and dye‐sensitized solar cells. This method of complete control of fluorescence emission by introducing mesoscopic ordered structures and its potential applications may significantly broaden the utility of fluorescence in various fields, such as optical systems, optoelectronic technology, and biological sensors.
