About

Shousheng Tang is a leading researcher in bioinspired surface engineering and liquid metal-based flexible electronics, with a focus on unraveling nature’s design principles for advanced functional materials. His work on the shape control of lotus leaves (2020, 20 citations) revealed how submillimeter surface textures induce automatic slanting, enabling self-motive unidirectional fluid transport—a breakthrough with profound implications for self-cleaning surfaces, drag reduction, and passive fluid management in microdevices. This research elegantly decodes how natural evolution optimizes surface architecture for energy-efficient transport. More recently, Tang developed a novel liquid metal-based angle detection sensor (2023, 17 citations), addressing a critical challenge in soft robotics and flexible electronics by achieving stable, high-sensitivity angular sensing. By harnessing liquid metal’s exceptional deformability and conductivity, his sensor offers a robust platform for biomimetic sensory systems. Tang’s contributions bridge fundamental insights from plant morphology with practical innovations in soft matter engineering, demonstrating how nature’s submillimeter textures can inspire next-generation smart surfaces and wearable technologies. His work continues to influence the design of autonomous fluidic systems and adaptive electronic skins.
