Controlled droplet manipulation by light has tremendous technological potential. We report
here a method based on photothermally induced pyroelectric effects that enables …

A superhydrophobic surface is non-sticking to aqueous droplets due to minimized solid-
liquid contact, but the small contact area also poses challenges to droplet maneuvering. This …

Manipulation of tiny amounts of liquid is a fundamental technique for miniaturized
diagnostic, analyzing, and synthetic processes. Among diverse maneuver methods, light …

Abstract Electrowetting‐on‐dielectric (EWOD), recognized as the most successful electrical
droplet actuation method, is essential in diverse applications, ranging from thermal …

Biological processes and technological applications cannot work without liquid control,
where versatile water droplet manipulation is a significant issue. Droplet motion is …

In this work, we discuss dynamic electrical control of the wetting behavior of liquids on
nanostructured surfaces spanning the entire possible range from superhydrophobic …

The use of'Electrostatic tweezers' is a promising tool for droplet manipulation, but it faces
many limitations in manipulating droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces. Here, we achieve …

Superhydrophobic surfaces are smart surfaces with high water contact angles and low
surface energy. When water droplets rest on superhydrophobic surfaces, they often stay at …

Artificial superhydrophobic surfaces [1–10] with water contact angles (CAs) greater than 150
have been intensively investigated due to their unique “anti-water” property that could be …

A smart, magnetically responsive superhydrophobic surface was facilely prepared by
combining spray coating and magnetic-field-directed self-assembly. The surface comprised …
