Abstract

Highlights Bionic microfluidics with helicoidally patterned microchannels enhances liquid lifting height compared to smooth microchannels. Enhanced capillary forces in biomimetic microchannels contribute to superior microfluidic performance and liquid transport capabilities. The design can be optimized through geometric adjustments, facilitating applications in clean-water production and microfluidic devices. This innovation mimics natural transpiration processes, indicating a wide range of potential uses in fluid management systems.
