Abstract
The Front Cover illustrates a microdroplet formed in a temperature responsive ionic liquid aqueous solution under the laser irradiation. Upon focusing a near-infrared laser beam onto the glass/solution interface, a single liquid droplet is formed due to optical trapping and a photothermal effect. The resultant droplet deposits on the substrate, exhibiting a hemispherical shape. The hemispherical droplet can extract and condense molecules due to high ionic liquid concentration, which is confirmed by Raman and fluorescence spectroscopic analysis. The current approach offers a new methodology with which to collect and perform microanalysis on tiny amounts of substances. More information can be found in the Research Article by Ken-ichi Yuyama and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/cptc.202400394).
