Abstract: Springtails, insects which breathe through their skins, possess mushroom-shaped nanostructures. As doubly re-entrant geometry in the mushroom head enhances the resistance against liquid invasion, the springtails have robust, liquid-free omniphobic skins. Although omniphobic surfaces are… read more here.
