## Description

- description: Droplet manipulation on surfaces is ubiquitous in many industrial fields.
    Liquid-repellent surfaces are required to facilitate manipulation because sticking
    restricts droplet motion. Various liquid-repellent surfaces have been used to
    manipulate microliter droplets. However, classical surfaces suffer from the repellence
    of pico- to nanoliter droplets. This study demonstrates the nonsticking property
    of pico- to nanoliter droplets on surfaces when it is coated with low-surface-energy
    particles with nano–micrometer hierarchy. The dynamic particle coating of ultrasonic-sprayed
    droplets enables the formation of highly spherical, isolated, particle-coated
    picoliter droplets. The particle coating changes the solid–liquid interfacial
    friction to solid–solid interfacial friction and reduces the force required to
    move the droplet to the subnanonewton range. Consequently, picoliter droplets
    slide off a tilted substrate without sticking. The coating does not affect the
    fluid shape reconfigurability of the droplets. This approach facilitates diverse
    and complex multiway manipulation of picoliter droplets, allowing separation,
    arrangement, transportation, and shape reconfiguration without sticking. This
    advances the understanding of droplet behavior at interfaces, and the proposed
    method may contribute to downsizing fluidic systems.
