Schematic showing the creation of MIT's "smart surface." Steps include creating a field of molecules topped with "hats" (top), then removing the hats so the molecules stand at a precise distance from each other (middle). When a positive electrical potential is applied, the water-loving tops bend down. The loops now exposed are water-repelling (bottom). Reverse the electrical potential and the mole...
