The formation of rain droplets … on a leaf surface reflects a fundamental property of water: high surface tension. An artificial array of highly uniform droplets can be created on a lithographically patterned glass surface with a differential surface energy. In their Communication on page 7639 ff., M. Y. Balakirev and co‐workers describe the use of arrayed droplets for the solution‐phase synthesis of small molecules and subsequent high‐throughput quantitative analysis of enzyme kinetics.
