TL;DR: It is shown that spreading of an impinged water droplet on the device bridges the originally disconnected components into a closed-loop electrical system, transforming the conventional interfacial effect into a bulk effect, and so enhancing the instantaneous power density by several orders of magnitude over equivalent devices that are limited by interfacial effects.

TL;DR: In this article, a single electrode droplet-based electricity generator (SE-DEG) was proposed to convert water droplet kinetic energy into electricity power on any surfaces of artificial or natural materials such as PTFE, glass, wood, aloe, cicada wing, stone and etc.

TL;DR: An overview of the development of biological and engineered liquid diodes is presented to elucidate how to control the surface chemistry and topography to regulate the transport of liquids without the need for external energy.

TL;DR: In this article, a tannic-acid-enabled dynamic interactions (TEDI) strategy is proposed to synchronously regulate both bulk and interfacial interactions to obtain exciting properties that outperform conventional hydrogels, including an extraordinary stretchability of over 7300%, remarkable self-healing abilities, and a robust on-skin adhesion of 50 kPa.
