Abstract Bioinspired re‐entrant structures have been proved to be effective in achieving liquid superrepellence (including anti‐penetration, anti‐adhesion, and anti‐spreading). However, except for a few reports relying on isotropic etching of silicon wafers, most fluorination‐dependent surfaces are ...

Abstract Multiresponsive elastic poly(methyl methacrylate‐butyl acrylate) (P(MMA‐BA)) copolymer nanoparticles with controlled sizes are fabricated through a one‐step method, which further serve as building blocks for the construction of multiresponsive films via self‐assembly. Taking advantage of th...

Surfaces combining antispreading and high adhesion can find wide applications in the manipulation of liquid droplets, generation of micropatterns and liquid enrichment. To fabricate such surfaces, almost all the traditional methods demand multi-step processes and chemical modification. And even so, ...

Abstract Controlled microstructural architectures—artificially designed microstructures and nanostructures with controlled properties—have been extensively used in scientific research and practical applications. Advanced fabrication strategies are always desired to satisfy the increasing demands for...

Conventional atomic force microscopy (AFM) tips have remained largely unchanged in nanomachining processes, constituent materials, and microstructural constructions for decades, which limits the measurement performance based on force-sensing feedbacks. In order to save the scanning images from disto...

In article number 1800103, Zhongze Gu and co-workers fabricate liquid (γ = 12.0–27.1 mN m−1) superrepellent re-entrant structures via two-photon-polymerization-based 3D-printing technology. The fabricated arrays can find potential applications in microfluidic platforms, lab-on-a-chip electronic devi...

In article number 1902954, Cun Zhu, Zhongze Gu, and co-workers synthesize multiresponsive elastic copolymer nanoparticles that are utilized as building blocks for the construction of multiresponsive films. The resultant films can not only control the concealment or exhibition of encrypted color info...

Abstract Mechanosensation is essential for diverse physiological processes. While many G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are known to be mechanosensitive, the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we reveal that mechanical force induces Gq activation of mGlu2, a balance modulator res...

The enhanced burning intensity of double fires in utility tunnels resulting in accumulated smoke and heat can lead to heavier casualties. For a single fire source with an end wall, the end wall causes reflections of smoke and heat, resulting in interactions similar to those of double fires. The abil...
