Liquid flowing around a solid edge, ie, overflow, is a commonly observed flow behavior.
Recent research into surface wetting properties and microstructure-controlled overflow …

In this review, we discuss violacein and prodigiosin, two chromogenic bacterial secondary
metabolites that have diverse biological activities. Although both compounds were …

Inspired by living organisms, soft robots are developed from intrinsically compliant materials,
enabling continuous motions that mimic animal and vegetal movement. In soft robots, the …

Multicatalysis is an emerging field targeting the development of efficient catalytic
transformations to quickly convert relatively simple starting materials into more complex …

Oil/water separation is of great significance due to the severe threats of oily wastewater to
the environment and human health. However, the existing methods still cannot …

Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) provide imperative interfaces and compartments in
biology, but the sculpture and conversion of liquid structures to functional solids is …

When liquids or solid materials rotate, they impart centrifugal and/or shear forces. This
Review surveys rotary devices and systems in which such forces control small-scale flows …

Oily wastewater discharge causes not only the pollution of environment but also the waste of
resources. Existing technologies for wastewater remediation, such as membrane and …

Mixing immiscible liquids typically requires the use of auxiliary substances including phase
transfer catalysts, microgels, surfactants, complex polymers and nano-particles and/or …

Solid–liquid composite materials that confine a functional liquid within a porous solid have
appeared in a wealth of emerging applications. However, creating dynamic liquid interfaces …
