On page 5550, H. Yoon, K. Char, and colleagues demonstrate a superhydrophobic surface with various optical functions. The trilevel mesoporous structures fabricated by soft imprinting method show outstanding water repelling properties with high transparency in visible. In addition, various optical functions such as photochromism are realized by incorporating different dyes inside the mesoporous structure.
