A dip‐decoating phenomenon is demonstrated by immersing and withdrawing a superhydrophobic coating from water. In this process, part of the coating's outer layer of nanoparticles is peeled off due to ultra‐weak interparticle forces, generating a bi‐superhydrophobic surface with different colors and adhesive forces, and a wrinkled water surface covered by jammed nanoparticles. More details can be found in article 1800356 by Xiaoguang Li, Xingguo Geng and co‐workers.
