Nanographitic coating enables hydrophobicity in lightweight and strong microarchitected carbon

Architectured materials are known for their mechanical properties, yet the addition of other functional properties would widen their applications range. Here, hydrophobicity is imparted to a high-strength carbon microlattice via a hierarchical nanographitic skin by rapid joule heating.
