Popis:	We present a hybrid microtextured surface with heterogeneous hydrophilic-hydrophobic regions for condensing water vapor while maintaining anti-wetting behavior. Fluid dynamics videos are shown demonstrating the difference between condensation on a homogeneous hydrophobic structure and the same structure with hybrid wetting regions. Comment: 2 videos; K. K.
