Bioinspired self-repairing slippery surfaces with pressure-stable omniphobicity

The surface that hates almost everything Inspired by the insect-eating Nepenthes pitcher plant, which snares its prey on a surface lubricated by a remarkably slippery aqueous secretion, Joanna Aizenberg and colleagues have synthesized omniphobic surfaces that can self-repair and function at high pre...
