Unique and universal dew-repellency of nanocones

Spontaneous jumping of condensing droplets holds promise for antifogging, but is generally inhibited for microdroplets. Lecointre et al. show that antifogging ability of cone structures at nanoscales is universal over a large range of cone sizes, shapes, apex angles and even truncation.
