Inspired by nature, scientists and researchers have studied the wetting behaviors on various creatures and mimicked their structures to fabricate diverse functional superwetting materials. As one kind of emerging application, the bioinspired superwettable surfaces used for biosensing have been aroused wide interests. In this review, we summarized the recent developments of bioinspired superwettable surfaces in the field of biosensing. In the first part, superwettable creatures in nature, namely, superhydrophobic self-cleaning lotus leaf, high-adhesion superhydrophobic rose petal, amphiphobic springtail, patterned wetting desert beetles, slippery pitcher plant, were introduced. In sequence, we successively described the special wetting models of superhydrophobicity, superamphiphobicity, responsive wettability, patterned wettability, and slipperiness. Then, biosensing applications based on the respective patterned wettable, superhydrophobic, responsive wettable, and slippery substrates that were combined with the common detection approaches (colorimetry, fluorescence, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), electrochemistry) were shown in detailed. At last, an insight of remaining challenges and future development for bioinspired superwetting materials applied in biosensing was provided.

Surfaces with controllable liquid wettability and related functions have gained increasing attention from interfacial scientists due to the high demand of fundamental research and practical applications. Inspired by pitch plant's excellent liquid repellency, external stimuli responsive lubricant‐infused surfaces switching between slippery state and nonslippery state under external stimuli (E‐LIS) have been developed by introducing external stimuli responsive materials as substrates, lubricants, or repellent liquids. This progress report is focused on recent development of E‐LIS. First, design strategy and fabrication of E‐LIS upon external stimuli exposure, including stress, electrical field, magnetic field, and temperature, is summarized. Then, emerging interfacial applications of E‐LIS, such as microreactors, pipetting devices, fog collection devices, and so on, are highlighted. In addition, remaining challenges and future prospects are provided.
