Rapid and stable bubble capture is crucial for gas collection and impurity removal in aquatic systems, yet the role of microtextures in initiating this process remains underexplored. The authors demonstrate that rising bubbles deform the entrapped gas layer on nano/microstructured surfaces, enabling ultrafast and stable capture via liquid film rupture and three-phase contact line hysteresis.
