Directional Transport: Bioinspired Continuous and Spontaneous Antigravity Oil Collection and Transportation (Adv. Funct. Mater. 5/2018)

In article number 1704220, Kesong Liu and co-workers report a novel device for antigravity oil collection from water. Oil gets pushed into submerged superoleophobic copper meshes and is incorporated into the oil column filling the attached quartz tube. This new mode of oil transportation can be used in offshore oil exploitation and may inspire micro-fluidics, sensors, and oil-water separation.
