Abstract
Frontispiece: The cover image is based on the Research Article Water-proofing mechanism of coupling structures observed in ladybird elytra and its bionic application by Zhang et al.
Cover description: Using high-speed imaging, we examine the collision of a waterdrop with the coupling structures of elytra systems. Through a combination of experimental and theoretical approaches, we analyze how the geometry of these coupling structures affects their water-proofing performance. Inspired by this biological mechanism, a water-proofing device is proposed for solar panels to enhance their light energy conversion efficiency. (DOI: 10.1002/dro2.162)
