Two‐faced : Through the combination of complex structural hierarchy and chemical diversity, amphiphilic Janus particles with a superhydrophobic and a hydrophilic hemisphere self‐assemble at the air–water interface to form highly flexible and impregnable water‐repelling layers. These layers of Janus particles have fascinating properties: for example, water droplets can rest on top of such a layer floating on water (see picture).
