The efficient dispersion and manipulation of micro/nanoliter droplets provides plenty of opportunities for the development of microdroplet‐based research. An integrated droplet manipulating device, that is, a superhydrophobic “aspirator,” is constructed and its potential application in tiny droplet manipulation is demonstrated.
