Desert beetle-inspired fog-harvesting surfaces integrating buckled microchannels and alternating wettability
We developed a dual-biomimetic fog-harvesting surface inspired by desert beetles and bird's nest ferns, where buckled hydrophilic–hydrophobic microstructures enhance water collection efficiency by ∼30%.
