In article number 1700133 by Feng Chen, Qing Yang, and co‐workers, underwater superaerophobic and superaerophilic rough meshes are simply fabricated. The underwater superaerophobic mesh has excellent anti/removing‐bubbles ability in water, while the underwater superaerophilic mesh can absorb bubbles and allow them to pass through the mesh. Based on these meshes, a strategy to remove gas bubbles from the water pipe is proposed, and an in‐water bubbles‐collection device is also designed.
