                         condensation. Coating these VACNT with a nanometric polyethylene 
                         (PE) layer preserved morphology, but normalized surface energy 
                         increasing its super-hydrophobicity. Samples of as grown VACNT 
                         with the PE coating (VACNT-PE samples) and VACNT samples treated 
                         by CO2 laser and with PE coating (VACNT/ laser-PE samples) show a 
                         much higher condensation for low surface temperatures (TS < 288 
                         K). At this low temperature, it changes from a low adhesion Cassie 
                         Baxter wetting state to a more adhesive one. Despite this larger 
                         adhesion, water collection enlarges instead of decreasing. 
                         Hierarchical condensation is the most likely effect contributing 
                         for this further increase. The cage-like morphology left by laser 
                         tracks on VACNT/laser-PE sustain larger droplets that removes all 
                         water underneath and neighbor regions while moving. In these 
                         conditions the volume collection is over 30 times larger than at 
                         dew point, with a high volumetric efficiency.",
