Rapid droplet shedding from surfaces is fundamentally interesting and important in
numerous applications such as anti‐icing, anti‐fouling, dropwise condensation, and …

From microscopic fungi to colossal whales, fluid ejections are universal and intricate
phenomena in biology, serving vital functions such as animal excretion, venom spraying …

Food consumption and waste elimination are vital functions for living systems. Although how
feeding impacts animal form and function has been studied for more than a century since …

Microtubular structures have been prepared by soft-template electropolymerization of
conjugated organic monomers with the aim to mimic the strong water-adhesive forces of …

We experimentally investigate the shape oscillations of an initially nonspherical water
droplet falling in air using high-speed imaging. We design a customized experimental setup …

Vibration is a robust and efficient method for droplet removal from superhydrophobic
surfaces. In the present work, we experimentally investigated the dynamics of droplets on …

The effective surface tension of lycopodium-coated liquid marbles is calculated from the
analysis of their free vibrations. Levitation of liquid marbles was achieved by the catapult …

We investigate the conditions that determine the detachment of a water drop from different
vibrating textured plates by using vertical vibrations. The plate surfaces were patterned by a …

We found that a hemispherical water drop of radius of the capillary length ℓ c suspended on
a substrate can generate a pair of bursting jets after experiencing one cycle of oscillation …

Plasmonics allows manipulating light at the nanoscale, but has limitations due to the static
nature of nanostructures and lack of reconfigurability. We propose and theoretically analyze …
