Raindrop impact on leaves is a common event which is of relevance for numerous
processes, including the dispersal of pathogens and propagules, leaf wax erosion, gas …

Interfaces between a water droplet and a network of pillars produce eventually
superhydrophobic, self-cleaning properties. Considering the surface fraction of the surface …

Dynamic interactions of the droplet impact on a solid surface are essential to many emerging
applications, such as electronics cooling, ink-jet printing, water harvesting/collection, anti …

The floating leaves of the aquatic fern Salvinia molesta are covered by superhydrophobic
hairs (= trichomes) which are shaped like egg-beaters. These trichomes cause high water …

We develop a novel approach to suspend ice in the air-trapping Cassie state without
requiring any fragile hydrophobic coatings or nanostructures. First, frost was preferentially …

Droplets interacting with fiber arrays is ubiquitous in nature, textiles, microelectromechanical
devices, and fog harvesting. The phenomena of droplet impact on an equidistant array of …

Pistia stratiotes is an aquatic plant with a complex structure that allows it to stay afloat. It
grows quickly, and in large numbers becomes an undesirable plant as an invasive species …

Droplet transmission is the primary infection route for respiratory diseases like COVID‐19
and influenza, but small and low‐cost wearable droplet detection devices are a significant …

When a drop impacts next to the edge of a solid substrate, it may spread beyond this edge. It
then forms a liquid sheet surrounded by a rim from which droplets may be ejected. This work …

An initial drop shape can alter the bouncing dynamics and significantly decrease the
residence time on superhydrophobic surfaces. Elliptical footprint drops show asymmetric …
