It is widely appreciated that surface tension can dominate the behavior of liquids at small
scales. Solids also have surface stresses of a similar magnitude, but they are usually …

Stimulus-responsive materials are able to response to a particular stimulus, such as, heat,
chemical, and light. As such, they are smarter and more intelligent than ordinary materials …

Morphological instabilities and surface wrinkling of soft materials such as gels and biological
tissues are of growing interest to a number of academic disciplines including soft …

This review summarizes progress toward programming two-dimensional (2D) polymer
sheets which respond to a variety of external stimuli to form three-dimensional (3D) shapes …

Although negligible at large scales, capillary forces may become dominant for submillimetric
objects. Surface tension is usually associated with the spherical shape of small droplets and …

Mechanical instabilities in soft materials, specifically wrinkling, have led to the formation of
unique surface patterns for a wide range of applications that are related to surface …

Surface instabilities in soft matter have been the subject of increasingly innovative research
aimed at better understanding the physics of their formation and their utility in patterning …

We demonstrate ultrathin, transparent, and conductive hybrid nanomembranes (NMs) with
nanoscale thickness, consisting of an orthogonal silver nanowire array embedded in a …

Enhancing boiling heat transfer by surface modification is of critical interest for improving the
efficiency of many energy systems and for addressing thermal management bottlenecks in …

Although negligible at macroscopic scales, capillary forces become dominant as the sub-
millimetric scales of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) are considered. We review …
