Abstract

Abstract : Water transport against the force of gravity is necessary for industry, agriculture, environmental engineering, and daily life, which consumes electricity or other forms of fossil‐based energy. Inspired by trees, an artificial trunk‐leaf device is reported in article number 2000043 by Chun Li, Jiayin Yuan, Liangti Qu and co‐workers for autonomous bottom‐up flow and remote harvesting of water powered by sunlight.
