Bioinspired wax crystals on various substrates exhibit time‐dependent nanoroughness evolution, which is induced by strain release and recrystallization. As reported by Boaz Pokroy and co‐workers on page 745 , this evolution of the nanoroughness leads to time‐dependent changes in wettability, from hydrophobic to superhydrophobic. This process of evolution is strongly dependent on temperature. The study provides a basis for the production of tuned, time‐dependent, temperature‐sensitive material surfaces with changeable wettability.
