Congratulations to Solomon, Rishi, and Ryan for a publication in Nature Communications
This work shows that droplets can be non-wetting on superhydrophilic microstructured surfaces when the surfaces are slightly heated above the saturation temperature. This finding has implications...
Congratulations to Nenad, Dan, and Ryan for a publication in Nature Communications
This work shows that jumping droplets on superhydrophobic nanostructured surfaces can accumulate charge that can be potentially harnessed for enhanced heat transfer, energy harvesting, among...
