Superhydrophobic (SHPo) surfaces have been investigated vigorously since around 2000
due in large part to their unique potential for hydrodynamic frictional drag reduction without …

Liquid-infused surfaces (LISs) are composite solid–liquid surfaces with remarkable features
such as liquid repellency, self-healing, and the suppression of fouling. This review focuses …

A significant amount of the fuel consumed by marine vehicles is expended to overcome skin-
friction drag resulting from turbulent boundary layer flows. Hence, a substantial reduction in …

In view of a great demand for paper-based technologies, nonwettable fibrous substrates with
excellent durability have drawn much attention in recent years. In this context, the use of …

Nature is the source of human design inspiration. In order to adapt to the environment better,
creatures in nature have formed various morphological structures during billions of years of …

Slippery surfaces, which originate in nature with special wettability, have attracted
considerable attention in both fundamental research and practical applications in a variety of …

Despite two decades of research, drag reduction with superhydrophobic (SHPo) surfaces
has never been experimentally confirmed under the most coveted condition, ie, high …

Trap** air at the solid–liquid interface is a promising strategy for reducing frictional drag
and desalting water, although it has thus far remained unachievable without perfluorinated …

Turbulence and heat transfer are two critical factors in the chain of world energy
consumption. Hence, development of more efficient energy transfer techniques in …

Biological organisms present marvelous morphing behaviors from the quiescent blooming of
flowers to the energetic wing‐flap** of birds that have always inspired humans to design …
