In the past few decades, in the case of shortage of water resources, fog collection has
received extensive attention and research from countries around the world, but it still faces …

Nanobubbles at solid–liquid interfaces play a key role in various physicochemical
phenomena and it is crucial to understand their unique properties. However, little is known …

BiFeO3 (BFO) films on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) substrate were obtained by
the atomic layer deposition (ALD) method. The oxidation of HOPG leads to the formation of …

Nanobubbles are typically classified as gas/vapor phase cavities in an aqueous solution
with a characteristic length of approximately 100 nanometers (nm). The theoretical lifetime of …

Gas bubbles are ubiquitous in electrochemical processes, particularly in water electrolysis.
Due to the development of gas-evolving electrocatalysis and energy conversion technology …

In contrast to surface nanobubbles, the properties of atomically flat gas phases such as
micropancakes remain unclear. In this study, we investigated nanoscopic gas phases …

METHODS AFM probes with three levels of wettability were prepared by processing the
surfaces of a ScanAsyst-Fluid+ cantilever (tip radius: 2–12 nm; spring constant: 0.7 N m− 1) …

Surface nanobubbles have been presumed to lead to the experimental observation that
liquid boiling often occurs at a much lower supersaturation than expected, yet no qualitative …

When a droplet is placed on a solid surface, the pinning force on the contact line is the key
factor determining the dynamics of liquid droplet. As the apparent contact line position is not …

Water confined in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can exhibit distinctly different behaviors from
the bulk. We report transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation of water phases …
