In article number 2000520, Yixiang Gan and co‐workers developed an experimentally validated model to tailor spontaneous droplets movement on surfaces with prescribed wedge shapes. This work reveals designed wedges with convex shapes have a better performance in enhancing droplet transport in applications, such as fog harvesting.
