Surfaces with controllable liquid wettability and related functions have gained increasing attention owing to the high demand for its fundamental research and practical applications. Inspired by the pitcher plant's excellent liquid repellency, in article number 1901130, Fan Xia and co‐workers develop external stimuli‐responsive lubricant‐infused surfaces that switch between a slippery and non‐slippery state under external stimuli by introducing external stimuli responsive materials as substrates, lubricants, or repellent liquids.
