Small, EarlyView.A water drop slides over a distance of a few centimeters across arrays whose top surfaces exhibit a contact angle below 10°. The arrays are fabricated with hydrophilic tops and hydrophobic sidewalls and substrate, forming Janus structures. As the drop moves, it generates a spontaneous electric charge and leaves behind tiny satellite droplets that ...
