Thermosets—polymeric materials that adopt a permanent shape upon curing—have a key
role in the modern plastics and rubber industries, comprising about 20 per cent of polymeric …

Superhydrophobic and superoleophobic surfaces have so far been made by roughening a
hydrophobic material. However, no surfaces were able to repel extremely-low-energy liquids …

Silicon photonics beyond the singlemode regime is applied for enabling ultralow‐loss
waveguide propagation for the fundamental mode even without any special fabrication …

Multilayer graphene is an exceptional anisotropic material due to its layered structure
composed of two-dimensional carbon lattices. Although the intrinsic mechanical properties …

We study supersonic impact of individual metallic microparticles on metallic substrates, that
is, the unit process of materials buildup in cold spray coatings/additive manufacturing. We …
