Inkjet printing is the most widespread technological application of microfluidics. It is
characterized by its high drop productivity, small volumes, and extreme reproducibility. This …

A drop hitting a solid surface can deposit, bounce, or splash. Splashing arises from the
breakup of a fine liquid sheet that is ejected radially along the substrate. Bouncing and …

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 …

Dynamic variables of drop impact such as force, drag, pressure, and stress distributions are
key to understanding a wide range of natural and industrial processes. While the study of …

Icing of surfaces is commonplace in nature and technology, affecting everyday life and
sometimes causing catastrophic events. Understanding (and counteracting) surface icing …

Making use of experimental and theoretical considerations, in this Letter we deduce a
criterion to determine the critical velocity for which a drop impacting a smooth dry surface …

We study the impact of a fluid drop onto a planar solid surface at high speed so that at
impact, kinetic energy dominates over surface energy and inertia dominates over viscous …

The superhydrophobic behavior of nano-and microtextured surfaces leading to rebound of
impacting droplets is of great relevance to nature and technology. It is not clear however, if …

For centuries, bubbles have fascinated artists, engineers, and scientists alike. In spite of
century-long research on them, new and often surprising bubble phenomena, features, and …

The im**ement of drops onto solid surfaces, plays a crucial role in a variety of processes,
including inkjet printing, fog harvesting, anti-icing, dropwise condensation and spray …
