Inspired by the natural non‐wetting materials, the self‐propelled anticondensation on low adhesive superamphiphobic engineered aluminum surfaces was reported. The spontaneous anti‐condensation can be attributed to surface energy released upon drop coalescence. Besides the anticondensation property, the resultant surfaces also demonstrated robust repellency toward various polar, nonpolar liquids and even corrosive liquids, showing stable superamphiphobicity, anti‐corrosion, and self‐cleaning properties. Further details can be found in the article by Kesong Liu and co‐workers on page 961 .
