Graphical Abstract
Ice to see you: The Stenocara beetle in the Namib Desert collects drinking droplets from the morning mist using its waxy wings, which are tailored with sub-millimeter hydrophilic humps. Superhydrophilic graphene oxide nanoflakes are biomimetic analogues of these humps and can seed ice nucleation on hydrophobic graphite. Various ice solids can thus be grown at ambient conditions (see images).
