Hong Kong Polytechnic University has invented a self-powered mechanism of freezing droplet ejection that allows droplets to shoot themselves away.

The self-ejection phenomenon was inspired by a fungus capable of shooting its spores away through osmosis-induced volume expansion.

The structure is designed to accelerate the ejection velocity and enlarge the kinetic energy transformation.
