Natural creatures use their surface structures to control directional liquid dynamics for
survival. Learning from nature, artificial superwetting materials have triggered technological …

Green plants are Earth's primary solar energy collectors. They harvest the energy of the Sun
by converting light energy into chemical energy stored in the bonds of sugar molecules. A …

Liquid entrainment with a solid architecture passing through the fluid-fluid interface is
ubiquitous and widely used in industrial processes as a liquid transfer method. Besides …

The feeding mechanisms of animals constrain the spectrum of resources that they can
exploit profitably. For floral nectar eaters, both corolla depth and nectar properties have …

Directional transport of fluids is crucial for vital activities of organisms and numerous
industrial applications. This process has garnered widespread research attention due to the …

Reptilia exploit a large diversity of food resources from plant materials to living mobile prey.
They are among the first tetrapods that needed to drink to maintain their water homeostasis …

The electrokinetically modulated peristaltic transport of power-law fluids through a narrow
confinement in the form of a deformable tube is investigated. The fluid is considered to be …

Can insects weighing mere grams challenge our current understanding of fluid dynamics in
urination, jetting fluids like their larger mammalian counterparts? Current fluid urination …

Entrainment, where a solid object in a liquid bath moves towards the air phase, is common
in industry and daily-life. However, most research on liquid entrainment has only focused on …

Many bees possess a tongue resembling a brush composed of a central rod (glossa)
covered by elongated papillae, which is dipped periodically into nectar to collect this primary …
