Natural living things have evolved huge diversity in the multiscale superwetting surfaces that underpin the frequent dealing of mass, energy, and information, encompass functional aspects including liquid manipulation, thermal management, antifouling,  water harvest, and locomotion. Despite the extensive efforts on evolutionary analysis and trial-and-error-based biomimicry, several particularly important questions remaining unsolved: what is the true essences of these multiscale surface designs? How do these surfaces mediate the dynamic wettability? How can we translate these nature's ingenious solutions to engineering scenarios? Answer to these questions fundamentally help us to elucidate the beautiful sciences of multiscale dynamic wettability and its translational engineering development. In this talk, we discuss our recent advances in establishing field matching principle, designing multiscale surfaces for high energy performance and functional robustness, and developing powerful techniques for bionic manufacturing. Our fundings potentially lay down the theoretical basis and technological support for the low-carbon and intelligent applications of nature-inspired surfaces.
