A sessile drop is an isolated drop which has been deposited on a solid substrate where the
wetted area is limited by the three-phase contact line and characterized by contact angle …

Although negligible at macroscopic scales, capillary forces become dominant as the sub-
millimetric scales of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) are considered. We review …

Fundamental biological processes are carried out by curved epithelial sheets that enclose a
pressurized lumen. How these sheets develop and withstand three-dimensional …

A paperclip can float on water. Drops of mercury do not spread on a surface. These capillary
phenomena are macroscopic manifestations of molecular interactions and can be explained …

A novel instrument allows for the first time measurements of the lateral adhesion forces at a
solid-liquid interface, f∥, in a way that is decoupled from the normal forces, f⊥. We use it to …

The contact angle that a liquid drop makes on a soft substrate does not obey the classical
Young's relation, since the solid is deformed elastically by the action of the capillary forces …

Droplet impact dynamics is an interfacial phenomenon that is shown everywhere in nature
and is the underlying of numerous technological applications including bio-printing, tissue …

We review the subject of drops on surfaces from the early days of Young through the
concept of line tension (line energy) and the equations of Furmidge and Dussan to the more …

Experiments of sessile water droplet evaporation on both polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and
Teflon surfaces were conducted. All experiments begin with constant contact area mode (the …

Gel layers bound to a rigid substrate are used in cell culture to control differentiation and
migration and to lower the friction and tailor the wetting of solids. Their thickness, often …
