Over the last three decades, photonic crystals (PhCs) have attracted intense interests thanks
to their broad potential applications in optics and photonics. Generally, these structures can …

Superwettability is a centuries-old concept that has been rediscovered in past decades,
largely owing to new understanding of the mechanisms of special wetting phenomena in …

Bionic electronic skin (E-skin) that could convert external physical or mechanical stimuli into
output signals has a wide range of applications including wearable devices, artificial …

Abstract 3D photonic crystals (PCs) have attracted extensive attention due to their unique
optical properties. However, fabricating 3D PCs structure by 3D printing colloidal particles is …

Colloidal photonic crystals (PCs) have been well developed because they are easy to
prepare, cost‐effective, and versatile with regards to modification and functionalization …

Superwettability is a special case of the wetting phenomenon among liquids, gases, and
solids. The superhydrophobic/superhydrophilic effect discovered initially has undergone a …

The colloidal domain is characterized by the dimensions of its constituents in the range from
several nanometers to micrometers. Often, these individual entities are organized in …

In this review, we report on superhydrophobic and superoleophobic properties found in
nature, which are strongly expected to benefit various potential applications. Mimicry of …

Biological photonic crystal (PC) patterns provide unique functionalities for the survival of
creatures, such as the static identified patterns of butterfly wings, the mating function of the …

Among diverse wetting phenomena in surface science, superamphiphobicity is regarded as
one of the most special super‐antiwetting states. In this paper, a systematic summary is …
