On page 4837, Y. Song and co‐workers demonstrate a facile strategy to fabricate superamphiphobic nozzles. Due to the super‐antiwetting property, such a nozzle can directly manipulate tiny oil droplets of varied volumes with high accuracy and reduced liquid retention. This low‐cost method will contribute to promoting existing applications concerning tiny oil droplets in liquid transport, biometrics, and ink‐jet printing.
