On page 4195 J. Kamei and H. Yabu create a super‐repellent surface with programmable wetting property that enables the collection of liquid droplets, transport along a pre‐programmed path, and manipulation on‐demand. This new technology opens the path for a new generation of omniphobic surfaces with potential application as antifouling medical coatings, water harvest and transport technology, and on‐demand 2D microfluidic for lab‐on‐a‐chip.
