On the cover: In recent years, driven by the new round of scientific and technological revolution, the transportation industry is undergoing unprecedented and significant changes. Emerging transport vehicles include autonomous vehicle and flying car. Some innovative operational modes appear, like Mobility as a Service and shared mobility. Meanwhile, advanced informatics technology, such as Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things, is also joining the way to make a better traffic. All of the progress has facilitated the emergence of Advanced Urban Aerial Mobility, a new paradigm for future transportation. The system is based on providing high-quality services as its core and the principles of energy-saving and environmental protection, making urban travel more enjoyable. This common scene in science fiction is no longer far-reaching. |

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
Developing versatile and robust surfaces that mimic the skins of living beings to regulate air/liquid/solid matter is critical for many bioinspired applications. Despite notable achievements, such as in the case of developing robust superhydrophobic surfaces, it remains elusive to realize simultaneously topology-specific superwettability and multipronged durability owing to their inherent tradeoff and the lack of a scalable fabrication method. Here, we present a largely unexplored strategy of preparing an all-perfluoropolymer (Teflon), nonlinear stability-assisted monolithic surface for efficient regulating matters.
