On page 579, by rationally manipulating the lysozyme phase transition, P. Yang and co‐workers report the first proteinaceous superhydrophobic material for facile protein crystallization. A reliable protein‐based superhydrophobic coating on virtually arbitrary material surfaces is achieved with good thermostability and mechanical robustness. Such a surface exhibits a fascinating capability to drive protein crystallization.
