Strain engineering in transition metal dichalcogenides is an important means to manipulate
these materials' electronic and optical properties. Recently, it has been shown that WSe 2 …

We experimentally investigated the dynamic polygonal spreading of droplets on lyophilic
pillar-arrayed substrates. When deposited on lyophilic rough surfaces, droplets adopt …

Unidirectional transport is attracting increasing attention in the field of microfluidics, because
it does not require an external energy supply. However, most of the current self-driving …

Wetting of deformable surfaces is a highly debated topic in interface science. A classical
approach employing the localized Young's traction γsinθ and curvature-induced traction …

Chalcogen-based materials, specially those containing S, Se or Te, can can be successfully
manufactured into thin films with semiconducting properties. Transition metal …

Wetting is a natural phenomenon and can be applied in various fields, including
biomimetics, tribology, microfluidics, medicine, and so on. For tribology, we can design an …

In recent years, droplet wetting and spreading have received significant interest from the
scientific community due to their broad applications in, for example, self-assembly [1, 2] …
