Abstract
A two-tier nanostructure comprising a 20-nm-diameter "nanograss" on 100-nm-diameter nanopillars exhibits robust and near-perfect superhydrophobicity, that is, water contact angles close to 180° and sliding angles close to 0°. Although the solid fraction was very low (∼0.02%), this surface could support a drop of water under a pressure of 234 Pa. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as "Supporting Information". Such documents are peer-reviewed, but not copy-edited or typeset. They are made available as submitted by the authors. Please note: The publisher is not responsible for the content or functionality of any supporting information supplied by the authors.
