Liquid dynamics on a solid surface are ubiquitous. On rainy days, the apex structures of plant leaves are capable of dripping with a high frequency to avoid damage. The peristome surface of pitcher plants could transport liquid directionally to form a self‐constructed wet water layer. In article number 2000824, Zhichao Dong and co‐workers summarize the recent advances in controlling liquid dynamics by surface superwettability, and present the underlying mechanisms, along with emerging applications, challenges, and perspectives.
