Superhydrophobic state on natural materials and synthesized surfaces has been exploited in a broad range of technologies including thermal management, water harvesting, anti-icing, and flow control. However, under certain circumstances wetting transition from Cassie’s mode to Wenzel’s mode becomes i...
