Author(s): H. Luo, T. Liu, J. Ma, P. Wang, Y. Wang, Y. Leprince-Wang, and G. Jing A new study shows that a moving contact line could be more dangerous for a hydrophobic coating layer on a surface than lamellar flow. The tiny water drops generate a driving force that removes the coating molecules, collecting and depositing them on the substrate as the contact line recedes. [Phys. Rev.
