“…This newfound insight opens the door to novel applications of MAE-based intelligent surfaces across diverse domains. Examples include droplet-based microfluidics [ 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 ], devices for transporting and distributing liquids [ 52 , 62 , 63 , 64 ], fog harvesting technologies [ 64 , 65 ], and locomotion mechanisms for soft robots [ 66 , 67 ].…”
