Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 27, 13 May 2026.The design employs heterogeneous wettability surfaces that construct stable oil‐water interfaces to achieve robust and rapid reversible adhesion. Linear enhancement of adhesion strength is realized through multi‐interface patterning. This adhesive enables rapid on‐demand detachment within five seconds via voltage‐induced electrolysis, offering a level ...

Mapping River Bed Topography in Whitewater Rapids Using Bathymetric LiDAR
River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 886-900, May 2026.ABSTRACT Bathymetric LiDAR captures river topography efficiently for clear and shallow water, but for mountain rivers, whitewater rapids still pose challenges. This study proposes a novel method to enable the extraction of bottom returns specifically in turbulent whitewater sections.
