Superhydrophobic surfaces hold great prospects for extremely diverse applications owing to
their water repellence property. The essential feature of superhydrophobicity is micro-/nano …

So far, scientists have successfully mimicked superhydrophobicity based on careful
observation and study of such surfaces found in nature. The key outcome is the fact that …

Water is the source of life and civilization, but water icing causes catastrophic damage to
human life and diverse industrial processes. Currently, superhydrophobic surfaces (inspired …

Supercooled droplet freezing on surfaces occurs frequently in nature and industry, often
adversely affecting the efficiency and reliability of technological processes. The ability of …

Conventional pressure sensors rely on solid sensing elements. Instead, inspired by the air
entrapment phenomenon on the surfaces of submerged lotus leaves, we designed a …

Flexible sensors with high-performance pressure and temperature sensing capabilities are
highly desirable due to their widespread applications in electronic skins and wearable …

Despite the enormous interest in superhydrophobicity for self-cleaning, a clear picture of
contaminant removal is missing, in particular, on a single-particle level. Here, we monitor the …

Superhydrophobicity is the tendency of a surface to repel water drops. A surface is qualified
as a superhydrophobic surface only if the surface possesses a high apparent contact angle …

Counteracting surface fogging to maintain surface transparency is important for a variety of
applications including eyewear, windows and displays. Energy-neutral, passive approaches …

A falling liquid drop, after impact on a rigid substrate, deforms and spreads, owing to the
normal reaction force. Subsequently, if the substrate is nonwetting, the drop retracts and …
