The speed at which a liquid can move over a solid surface is strongly limited when a three-
phase contact line is present, separating wet from dry regions. When enforcing large contact …

Wetting phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and technology. A solid substrate exposed to
the environment is almost invariably covered by a layer of fluid material. In this review, the …

Surfaces enabling directional drop self‐transport have exceptional applications in digital
microfluidics, chemical analysis, bioassay, and microreactor technology. While such …

A nanoscale, synthetic perturbation was all that was required to nudge a natural, self-
assembly process toward significantly higher order. Metallic thin film strips were transformed …

Droplet friction is common and significant in any field where liquids interact with solid
surfaces. This study explores the molecular cap** of surface‐tethered, liquid‐like …

My interest in dew and Breath Figures (BFs, the pattern that forms on a cold surface when
breathing) started long ago when I was intrigued to see a ring around a streetlight from the …

Hypothesis Molecular dynamics (MD) may be used to investigate the velocity dependence of
both the microscopic and apparent dynamic contact angles (θ m and θ app). Methods We …

Water dewetting generates static electricity. We reviewed historical experiments of this
phenomenon, and we studied the charging of polymer slides and metal electrode supported …

We consider the static and dynamic behaviour of two-dimensional droplets on inclined
heterogeneous substrates. We utilize an evolution equation for the droplet thickness based …

Instabilities of receding contact lines often occur through the formation of a corner with a very
sharp tip. These dewetting structures also appear in the technology of Immersion …
