  • Controlling droplet motion after impact on solid surfaces is crucial for applications like self-cleaning and microfluidics, yet the fundamental limit of the droplet rebound angle remains unknown. This study reveals a droplet behavior where it rapidly rolls with a rebound angle near zero, defining the lower limit, enabled by asymmetric adhesion on nanostructured surfaces, resulting in greatly enhanced cleaning efficiency and precise droplet transport.

  • Controlling droplet impact and rebound behaviour can have applications in inkjet printing and self-cleaning. Here the authors show how a chemically-patterned surface with high-adhesive spirals surrounded by hydrophobic, low-adhesive regions leads to gyration behaviour of impacting droplets.

  • In this work, authors developed a hermetic hydrovoltaic cell that generates electricity from ambient heat without consuming water. The device operates continuously for 160 h, unaffected by external conditions like wind and light, making it potentially suitable for various challenging environments.

  • This study reports widespread loss of mountain vegetation worldwide from 2000 to 2020, with ∼89% attributable to human expansion, primarily agriculture. Over half of this loss occurred within protected areas and other biodiversity-rich areas, threatening conservation efforts.

  • A liquid drop hovers over the surface when placed on a hot surface that is hotter than the Leidenfrost point because a vapor film will form beneath the drop. Here authors report how to manipulate drops by cutting the Leidenfrost film using chemically heterogeneous surfaces.

  • Asymmetric mechanical transducers are pivotal in various applications; however, conventional methods demand continuous energy and intricate fabrication. Here, the authors demonstrate a droplet-based mechanical transducer utilizing wettability-patterned surfaces, enabling precise control of droplet dynamics.

  • Most of the intensive human activities usually occur in lowlands. Here the authors report that human activity expansions also were widely distributed in Asian highlands in the 21st century and held dual effects, which provides new insights for regional human activity expansions.

  • Satellite drops formed on droplet impact hinder applications from inkjet printing to drop energy harvest. Here, authors reveal that patterned-wettability surfaces can break the symmetry of droplet impacts and suppress the Plateau–Rayleigh instability, preventing satellite drop generation and improving the hydropower harvest.
