Additive‐Free Tunable Transport and Assembly of Floating Objects at Water‐Air Interface Using Bubble‐Mediated Capillary Forces

An additive-free and reconfigurable assembly strategy based on capillary interaction between an air-bubble and floating object is demonstrated. The method is capable of long-range transport, assembly, and on-demand disassembly of floating objects at the water–air interface, by simply controlling the dynamics of the air bubble.
