A facile, in situ, ink‐regulating approach is developed on page 1682 by Lifeng Chi, Yuekun Lai, and co‐workers for rapidly reversible water wettability and adhesion transition, with a large degree of contrast, on superhydrophobic TiO 2 nanotube array film. This finding provides new strategies in the design of siteselective, sticky superhydrophobic patterns for droplet manipulation and cell immobilization.
