Evidence has emerged that SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, can be
transmitted airborne in aerosol particles as well as in larger droplets or by surface deposits …

The ability to manipulate and sort droplets is a fundamental issue in droplet-based
microfluidics. Various lab-on-a-chip applications can only be realized if droplets are …

Droplet impact is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature, daily life, and industrial processes. It
is thus crucial to tune the impact outcomes for various applications. As a special outcome of …

The use of'Electrostatic tweezers' is a promising tool for droplet manipulation, but it faces
many limitations in manipulating droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces. Here, we achieve …

The current understanding and developments in the electrostatic phase separation are
reviewed. The literature covers predominantly two immiscible and inter-dispersed liquids …

Droplet bouncing on surfaces has long been observed in nature and industry, which is
rather intriguing and instructive for related technology development. Recent decades have …

Contact electrification (CE) is a common physical phenomenon, and its mechanisms for
solid–solid and liquid–solid cases have been widely discussed. However, the studies about …

More than one century ago, Lippmann found that capillary forces can be effectively
controlled by external electrostatic forces. As a simple example, by applying a voltage …

In vitro screening systems based on the coupled transcription and translation of genes using
cell-free systems have a number of attractive features for protein engineering and directed …

The impact and splash of liquid drops on solid substrates are ubiquitous in many important
fields. However, previous studies have mainly focused on spherical drops while the non …
