Collecting microscale water droplets suspended in the wind, that is, fog, using permeable
surfaces is a promising solution to the worldwide problem of water scarcity and is of great …

Over the past decade, a new class of slippery, anti-adhesive surfaces known as slippery
covalently-attached liquid surfaces (SCALS) has emerged, characterized by low values of …

This work establishes that static contact angles for gallium-based liquid metals have no
utility despite the continued and common use of such angles in the literature. In the …

Symmetric molten pool morphology is essential and fundamental in manufacturing three-
dimensional (3D) components by wire-arc directed energy deposition (DED) method …

Wetting phenomena and superhydrophobic surfaces are ubiquitous in nature and have
recently been explored widely in scientific and engineering applications. The understanding …

Most materials of practical interest are neither completely wetting nor completely non-
wetting.“Surface wettability” then refers to the degree that a surface is hydrophilic (ie water …

Curved electronics, which are better coordinated and blended with the natural world due to
the characteristics of large contact area, high space adaptability, etc., have been widely …

Directed liquid metal (gallium‐based) manipulation and actuation are paramount for copious
applications, including soft robotics, soft electronics, and targeted drug delivery. Although …

Arc additive manufacturing can be used to fabricate large scale titanium alloy parts with high
deposition rate and low costs. However, coarse columnar β grains in deposited Ti-6Al-4V …

Droplet friction is common and significant in any field where liquids interact with solid
