A water droplet can bounce off superhydrophobic surfaces multiple times before coming to a stop. The energy loss for such droplet rebounds can be quantified by the ratio of the rebound speed UR and the initial impact speed UI; i.e., its restitution coefficient e = UR/UI. Despite much work in this ar...
