Superwettability controlled overflow is presented . Superhydrophilicity enhances overflow and superhydrophobicity reduces overflow. The fundamental mechanism for the dynamic interaction between fluids and solid‐edges is revealed and several methods for preparing the surfaces of solid‐edges with superwettabilities are presented. The insights gained provide new opportunities to achieve controllable dynamic interaction at solid–liquid interfaces for various applications.
