TL;DR: It is found that continuous, directional water transport occurs on the surface of the ‘peristome’—the rim of the pitcher—because of its multiscale structure, which optimizes and enhances capillary rise in the transport direction, and prevents backflow by pinning in place any water front that is moving in the reverse direction.

TL;DR: An ultrafast water transport process in the surface of a Sarracenia trichome is reported and demonstrated in synthetic bioinspired materials, where nano- and microchannels induce high-speed sliding of droplets on top of a thin water film.

TL;DR: A review on the path towards delamination-free drilling for composite laminates can significantly help researchers improve currently available cost-effective drilling process and develop high performance drilling process as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: This review systematically summarized the physicochemical properties of AuNPs and their intrinsic relationships and hopes to provide a reference for peer researchers to better utilize the excellent physic biochemical properties of gold nanoparticles in oncotherapy.

TL;DR: To design and fabricate a biomimetic microscale surface with strong wet friction, the wet attachment mechanism of tree frog toe pads was investigated and novel surface micropatterns were proposed for the surface of surgical graspers.
