Abstract
Inside Front Cover: The cover image is based on the Research Article Bionic surface diode for droplet steering by Yang et al.
Ultraslippery patterned surfaces with significant droplet sliding anisotropy were created by coordinating the heterogeneous wettability of the back of dessert beetle, directional-dependent architecture of butterfly wing, and ultraslippery configuration of Nepenthes alata. The sliding anisotropy of the functional surface is threefold higher than that of natural butterfly wings, which enables the simultaneous handling of multiple droplets without mass loss.
