The revolutionary natural concept of sweating is successfully adapted as a sustainable and energyefficient cooling‐technology for buildings in urban environments. On page 5352 , W. J. Stark and co‐workers present low‐cost, reversibly thermoresponsive hydrogel‐mats enabling an autonomous, bio‐inspired sweating‐like action on building surfaces with a surface temperature reduction of up to 25 °C under tropical solar irradiance.
