| Nanomaterials are fascinating tiny substances, and their size gives them some really special characteristics. Think of them in categories like 'zero'-dimensional, 'one'-dimensional, 'two'-dimensional and three-dimensional materials. 'Zero-dimensional???' you ask? This concept is initially challenging to grasp. So, let's unpack this. Watch video |

| Assembly of architectures where multilayer pattern elements using microsystem technology fold up into 3D structures, self-assembling to form microelectronic SMARTLETs with self-propulsion. These SMARTLETs can then be aggregated passively or actively into higher hierarchical assemblies. Watch video |

| In contrast with the microchannel-based fluidics, the manipulation of discrete droplets without using microfluidic channels is a new field. Here, a liquid droplet is not confined to a closed channel and there is no risk of it being adsorbed on a channel wall. A liquid marble, a liquid encapsulated by non-wetting powder, could be a new microfluidic device, which is especially useful for handling single liquid droplet. Watch video |

| This video shows the ultrafast propulsion of an AlGa/Ti micromotor in water. It shows time-lapse images, taken from SI Video 1, over a 300 ms period. A long tail of hydrogen bubbles generated on one side of the micromotor is clearly observed, reflecting the rapid spontaneous reaction of aluminum with the surrounding water. Watch video |

| This clip shows the process of the absorption of water droplets on the superhydrophilic wool fabrics. In the video, the fabric on the left is a pristine wool fabric and the right is a silica-grafted wool fabric. The water absorption rates of the silica-grafted wool fabric are fast and the drip diffusion radii are large, which is of great importance to realize the fast absorbing and quick-drying of water or perspiration on the surface of human skin.
