Liquid–liquid phase separation and related phase transitions have emerged as generic
mechanisms in living cells for the formation of membraneless compartments or biomolecular …

Surface nanobubbles are nanoscopic gaseous domains on immersed substrates which can
survive for days. They were first speculated to exist about 20 years ago, based on stepwise …

Contact angle hysteresis is an important physical phenomenon. It is omnipresent in nature
and also plays a crucial role in various industrial processes. Despite its relevance, there is a …

Nature has developed materials, objects, and processes that function from the macroscale to
the nanoscale. The emerging field of biomimetics allows one to mimic biology or nature to …

A contact angle observed for a liquid-solid system is not necessarily a unique value and a
few different contact angles need to be carefully considered in relation to liquid spreading …

Contact angle, a quantitative measure of macroscopic surface wettability, plays an important
role in understanding liquid-vapor heterogeneous phase change phenomena, eg, boiling …

This book is written and organized around three topics: electron diffraction, electron optics,
and electron crystallography. It is intended as an advanced undergraduateor graduate-level …

We develop a theory to model the van der Waals interactions between liquid and graphene,
including quantifying the wetting behavior of a graphene-coated surface. Molecular …

This paper provides a review of superhydrophobicity and related phenomena
(superoleophobicity, omniphobicity, self-cleaning) induced by surface micro-and …

The measurement and interpretation of contact angles deceptively appear to be simple. This
paper attempts to summarize the pitfalls in the field, and how to avoid them. First, the …
