Water is the driving force of all nature. Securing freshwater has been one most important issues throughout human history, and will be in future, especially next decade. Fog ubiquitous nature therefore considered as an alternative sustainable resource. Nature long served a source inspiration to develop new fog‐harvesting technologies. However, collection from static fog still challenge for existing bio‐inspired systems. Herein, magnetically induced harvesting under windless conditions...
Abstract In nature, fluid manipulations are ubiquitous in organisms, and they crucial for many of their vital activities. Therefore, this process has also attracted widescale research attention. However, despite significant advances transportation over the past few decades, it is still hugely challenging to achieve efficient nondestructive droplet owing contamination effects controllability problems liquid applications. To end, inspired by motile microcilia micro‐organisms,...
Abstract Lossless and directional droplet transport is desirable in biological processes as well technical applications such targeted drug therapies, bioassays, microfluidics. Conventional methods that use surface energy Laplace pressure gradients to achieve spontaneous often suffer from destruction loss. Herein, an efficient strategy reported based on a V‐shaped underwater superoleophobic rail superhydrophobic delivers lossless oil water transport, respectively. The not only converts the...
Abstract Anisotropic microstructures are widely used by being cleverly designed to achieve important functions. Mammals' respiratory tract is filled with dense cilia that rhythmically swing back and forth in a unidirectional wave propel mucus harmful substances out of the lung through larynx. Inspired ciliary structure motion mechanism systems, viscoelastic microsphere transporting strategy based on integration airway cilium‐like magnetically responsive flexible conical arrays demonstrated....
Unidirectional liquid penetration plays an important role in many fields, such as microfluidic devices, biological medical, printing, and oil/water separation. Although there are some progresses the unidirectional using a variety of Janus membranes with anisotropic wettability, it still remains great difficulty for single-layer straight pore to balance spontaneous positive direction superior resistance reverse direction. Herein, liquid-assisted strategy membrane is developed, which can...
Surfaces with under-water superoleophobicity or under-oil superhydrophobicity have attractive features due to their widespread applications. However, it is difficult achieve under-liquid dual superlyophobic surfaces, that is, and coexistence, the thermodynamic contradiction. Herein, we report an approach obtain surface through conformational transitions of self-assembled molecules. Preferential exposure either hydrophobic hydrophilic moieties hydroxythiol (HS(CH2)nOH, where n number...
Abstract The manipulation of underwater bubbles is great significance in scientific research and industrial applications since they are ubiquitous inevitable production life, for example, agriculture industry processes. Unfortunately, an aqueous environment, the mainly dominated by buoyancy move upward, which makes difficult. To this end, numerous materials have been designed to manipulate bubbles. However, almost all existing based on superaerophilic surface, has low controllability bubble...
Abstract Underwater bubbles are unavoidable in the natural world and industrial production. Understanding behavior of underwater manipulating gas vital important to both fundamental scientific research application. Although there has been some progress controlling bubbles, continuous bubble collection transportation remain challenging targets. Herein, inspired by mechanism water spider's storage, a strategy collect transport is demonstrated design single‐layer superaerophobic mesh (USM)...
Inspired by microorganisms' motile cilia, “self-cleaning” lotus leaves, underwater superoleophobicity of filefish skin, and pigeons' migration behaviors, multifunctional, magnetocontrollable superwettable-microcilia surface devices to manipulate droplets are engineered fabricated in article number 1900834 Kesong Liu co-workers. Droplets can be continuously transported a specified direction via array whose structure switched between different states an external magnetic field.
