![Cover of Advanced Materials journal magazine for year 2013, Vol. 25, No. 16. The background is gray. On center there is a shperical droplet dyed blue, lying on the surface of silicon. Around it there are two perfectly circular rings of water. The reflection on the Silicon surface cast their mirror image.](/sites/g/files/flghsv161/files/styles/1_120w_120h_d/public/2020-03/am2013.png?h=b3f96e79&itok=UD5Kapzk)
