摘要

Dandelion pappi configuration responds to environmental humidity by reversibly switching between an open state in low air humidity and a closed state in high humidity, which further influences the wind-mediated transport behavior of dandelion seed. On page 7378, H. Liu and co-workers adapt this concept by developing a hydroresponsive artificial fiber array attached to a hydrogel base. Inspirations for air vehicle design are to be expected.
