In article number 1800117, Yuekun Lai and co‐workers introduce a self‐floating, lotus‐leaf‐inspired Janus cotton fabric that can sustainably produce desalinated water vapor upon solar illumination. This concept is symbolized by the river lanterns lit by people in China to remember their predecessors.
