Rapid, simple, and inexpensive point‐of‐care (POC) medical tests are of significant need around the world. The transition between nonwetting and wetted states is used on page 1654 by M. W. Grinstaff and co‐workers to create instrument‐free surface tension sensors for POC diagnosis, using a layered electrospun mesh with incorporated dye to change color upon wetting.
