A gas in between micro-or nanostructures on a submerged superhydrophobic (SHPo)
surface allows the liquid on the structures to flow with an effective slip. If large enough, this …

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

Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces inspired by the Nepenthes pitcher plant exhibit
excellent performances and are known for their extremely low contact angle hysteresis (< 5°) …

Biomimetics allows one to mimic nature to develop materials and devices of commercial
interest for engineers. Drag reduction in fluid flow is one of the examples found in nature. In …

Traditional froth flotation is the primary method for the separation and upgrading of fine
mineral particles. However, it is still difficult for micro-fine and low-quality minerals to …

The emerging field of biomimetics allows one to mimic biology or nature to develop
nanomaterials, nanodevices, and processes which provide desirable properties …

Drag reduction plays an important role in improving the efficiency of fluid transport and
reducing the energy consumption of transport vehicles. The essential feature of bubble …

The boundary condition at the solid–liquid interface on the micro/nanoscale is an important
issue in micro/nanofluidic systems, where drag forces between fluids and solid walls need to …

Abstract Design and synthesis of electric-driven micro/nanomotors (EDMNMs) have
attracted tremendous attention because of their unique advantages, such as non-necessity …

Biosensors are a broad array of devices that detect the type and amount of a biological
species or biomolecule. Several different types of biosensors have been developed that rely …
