On the cover: Medicine is the practice of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. With the advances in medical science, human beings are getting both longer life spans and higher quality of life. From herbs to molecular signatures, humankind is experiencing a transition from traditional medicine to personalized medicine: the right treatment to the right patient at the right time. However, it is not so easy to achieve this goal because the etiology of most diseases and disorders is still unclear. From description to association, numerous researchers are working together to decipher the mechanisms behind disease. To address such challenges, more and more global collaborations are badly needed to include experts from all disciplines: not just doctors, scientists and administration staff, but also engineers, technicians and marketing managers. Not limited to a fish-eye view, we humans should widen our vision and get more deep insights beyond the human community. That is the right way to assure sustainable healthcare for humanity. |

Graphical abstract
Thermal transfer systems involving temperature control through heating, ventilation, and air conditioning applications have emerged as one of the largest energy issues in buildings. Traditional approaches mainly comprise closed and open systems, both of which have certain advantages and disadvantages in a single heating or cooling process. Here we report a thermal adaptive system with beneficial energy-saving properties, which uses functional liquid to exhibit high metastability, providing durability in a temperature-responsive liquid gating system.
