Triboelectric properties of materials play an essential role in liquid energy harvesting and
emerging application. The triboelectric properties of materials can be controlled by chemical …

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

To calculate the shear yield stress and effect of the gold film thickness on sandwich
structures, a force transducer was used to measure cutting forces during nanoskiving, and …

Superhydrophobic surfaces are often seen as frictionless materials, on which water is highly
mobile. Understanding the nature of friction for such water-repellent systems is central to …

Nature has proven to be a valuable resource in inspiring the development of novel
technologies. The field of biomimetics emerged centuries ago as scientists sought to …

Superhydrophobic coatings have extraordinary properties like self‐cleaning and staying dry,
and have recently appeared on industrial and consumer markets. The stochastic nature of …

Intrusion of liquid into hydrophobic nanopores has yielded unusual fluid and transport
properties that classical theories cannot fully describe, and its extrusion yet remains largely …

Sessile drops are ubiquitous and important in technological applications. While dynamics of
liquid drops have been studied under confinement, the possibility of creating sessile drops …

This paper reports the axisymmetric motion of a viscous droplet or solid spherical particle
with a slip-flow surface that moves perpendicular toward an orifice in a plane wall. The …

Simple Summary The bolas spider Mastophora hutchinsoni creates a small glue droplet
attached to a web, called a bolas, which it flicks at a moth flying nearby. When it makes …
