(Nanowerk News) Researchers led by Prof. ZHANG Junping from the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have discussed the challenges and strategies for ...

Superhydrophobic surfaces have garnered significant attention as a promising strategy for reducing drag in fluid flow systems. By utilising engineered roughness at micro‐ and nanoscale levels, these ...

Scientists have developed what they call the most water-repellent surface ever. By giving it a liquid-like coating that defies usual designs, water will roll off the surface at angles 500 times ...

Superhydrophobicity is a property of surfaces that exhibit extreme water repellency, characterized by water contact angles greater than 150°. In contrast to superhydrophilicity, where surfaces display ...

This diagram presents a theoretical model for droplet impact-freezing on superhydrophobic surfaces. It contrasts two distinct dynamic behaviors: on rough surfaces, droplets spread, break up during ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has introduced a technology that generates electricity from raindrops striking rooftops ...

Researchers at the Dalian University of Technology have constructed a design of copper nanowire assemblies that can considerably improve the defrosting and de-icing efficiency with no predictable ...

In this week's Science for All newsletter, Divya Gandhi explains how scientists use biomimicry to create no-spill cups ...
