Biophysics: Water-repellent legs of water striders
Xuefeng Gao,Lei Jiang +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that it is the special hierarchical structure of the legs, which are covered by large numbers of oriented tiny hairs (microsetae) with fine nanogrooves, that is more important in inducing this water resistance.
