Liquid–liquid phase separation and related phase transitions have emerged as generic
mechanisms in living cells for the formation of membraneless compartments or biomolecular …

Inspired by living organisms, soft robots are developed from intrinsically compliant materials,
enabling continuous motions that mimic animal and vegetal movement. In soft robots, the …

Aqueous two-phase system features with ultralow interfacial tension and thick interfacial
region, affording unique confined space for membrane assembly. Here, for the first time, an …

Desalination used falling film evaporation is an effective method to solve the issue of water
shortages. Droplet falling film evaporation, which has a greater heat transfer rate compared …

Im**ing gas jets can induce depressions in liquid surfaces, a phenomenon familiar to
anyone who has observed the cavity produced by blowing air through a straw directly above …

Viscous fingering is a widely observed phenomenon, in which finger-like instabilities occur
at the interface of two fluids, whenever a less viscous phase displaces a more viscous …

The dynamic corrosion process under the condensed liquid droplet was studied using both
wire beam electrode (WBE) and steel coupon. Results indicate that the formation process …

Superhydrophobic surface is one of the most promising materials for the prevention and
elimination of ice in daily lives but its durability remains a tremendous problem. Inevitable …

The role of nonlinear rheology of polymeric fluids in finger formation and the ensuing
morphology of the patterns in miscible flow displacement is examined experimentally. The …

Viscous fingering is an extensively observed phenomenon in porous media or Hele-Shaw
cells. In general, this instability is particularly difficult to control for given fluids and …
