Liquid-repellent surfaces, such as superhydrophobic surfaces, superoleophobic surfaces,
and slippery liquid-infused surfaces, have drawn keen research interest from the …

Surface wetting is a multiscale phenomenon where properties at the macroscale are
determined by features at much smaller length scales, such as nanoscale surface …

Water drops moving on surfaces are not only an everyday phenomenon seen on windows
but also form an essential part of many industrial processes. Previous understanding is that …

Liquid drops sliding on tilted surfaces is an everyday phenomenon and is important for many
industrial applications. Still, it is impossible to predict the drop's sliding velocity. To make a …

Aerophilic surfaces immersed underwater trap films of air known as plastrons. Plastrons
have typically been considered impractical for underwater engineering applications due to …

Liquid-infused surfaces (LISs) are composite solid–liquid surfaces with remarkable features
such as liquid repellency, self-healing, and the suppression of fouling. This review focuses …

Friction determines whether liquid droplets slide off a solid surface or stick to it. Surface
heterogeneity is generally acknowledged as the major cause of increased contact angle …

Self-cleaning surfaces are attractive and desirable owing to their unique benefits to the
environment, energy, and labor-saving for various promising practical applications. Superior …

As one of the nanogenerators which exploit the potential of the water cycle, a droplet-based
electricity generator (DEG) has recently been leading the research field due to its high …

Despite several decades long research on moving contact line dynamics due to its
remarkable role in interfacial science and technological fields, there is still a significant lack …
