On page 7986, D. Tian, X. Zhang, Z. Guo, and co‐workers demonstrate the directional motion of underwater oil droplets driven by the cooperative effects of an electric field and a gradient‐structured porous PS film. The approach is promising for the design of new smart interface materials for applications in electrofluidic displays, biological cells, and particle manipulation.
