to be 1000 times higher than predicted by classical hydrodynamics.

2D Nanostructures:
Superhydrophobic surfaces
The angle formed by a tangent to a flat surface of a drop of water at
the point of contact (contact angle) is given in terms of the interfacial
energies of the system by the Young equation:
