  • Spider-silk-mimicking microfibers often suffer from low efficiency and durability in water collection. Here, the authors fabricate robust microfibers with spindle cavity-knots and different topological fiber-networks with improved water-collecting performance

  • Controlling magnetization orientation and assembling high-coercivity micro-magnets at the microscale has been challenging due to harsh operational requirements and limited spatial precision. The authors present a stretchable linear magnet with programmable magnetization enabled by laser-activated phase-change microcells, achieving efficient and reversible reorientation under mild conditions.

  • Droplet manipulation is an essential task for designing microfluidic platforms such as lab-on-chip devices. Here Tanget al. develop a non-wettable mesh with reversible liquid adhesion controlled by mechanically inserting wettable pillars which allows for effective and rapid droplet manoeuvring.

  • A droplet falling on a non-wetting plane is expected to randomly roll. Tang et al. uncover that by interfacing piezoelectric crystal plane, droplets self-propel in a furcated direction, a motility fuelled by cross-scale thermo-piezoelectric coupling.

  • Controlled deposition of droplets on super-repellent surfaces is a challenging task in many practical applications. Han et al. show that already a rather thin encapsulating film of a highly viscous liquid can fine tune droplet impact as to suppress both rebound and splash.
