A smart roof that transforms raindrops into agricultural spraying

Abstract

We present a smart roof that makes fragmented droplets from the impact of raindrops on superhydrophobic meshes and utilizes the droplets for agricultural spraying. This facile method transforms raindrops or waterdrops into uniform microdroplets, which can both reduce crop lodging induced by heavy rainfall, and realize uniform spraying of pesticides.
