Slippery Water Infused Membrane with Grooved Nanotrichomes Sarracenia leucophylla, a carnivorous pitcher plant, has short trichomes covering the inner wall. When wet by water, the trichomes help to form a water‐based lubrication layer, which becomes slippery for the prey insects to slip into a pitfall trap. In article number 2103950, Young A Lee, Seok Chung, Myoung‐Woon Moon, and co‐workers, inspired by the water lubrication, develop a slippery, water‐infused membrane with grooved nanotrichomes for lubricating‐induced oil repellency and self‐cleaning in air or underwater.
