Inspired by spider silk, a series of artificial spider silks with spindle-knots are fabricated. Tiny water drops (tens of picoliters) are driven with controllable direction on the fiber surfaces. The study will help the future design of smart materials and devices to drive tiny water drops in a controllable manner.
