When microdroplets with quasi‐spherical contact angles coalesce together on a low‐
adhesion substrate, the capillary‐inertial expansion of the liquid bridge induces a dramatic …

Spatial control of condensation/nucleation is important for applications such as capillary
force‐driven parallelized device alignment, suppression of chain‐reaction ice‐formation …

Despite exceptional recent advances in tailoring the wettability of surfaces, to date, no
engineered surface can passively suppress the in-plane growth of frost that invariably …

Preventing condensation frosting is crucial for air conditioning units, refrigeration systems,
and other cryogenic equipment. Coalescence-induced self-propelled jumping of condensed …

Water droplet icing on solid surfaces has been intensively studied in recent years but still
with many mechanisms unrevealed. Here, we report a bubble formation phenomenon that …

Superhydrophobic surfaces have been confirmed to have the capacity for delaying the
condensation frosting, and the self-propelled droplet jumping phenomenon further …

My interest in dew and Breath Figures (BFs, the pattern that forms on a cold surface when
breathing) started long ago when I was intrigued to see a ring around a streetlight from the …

The accretion of frost on heat exchanging surfaces through the freezing of condensed water
in cold and humid environments significantly reduces the operating efficiency of air-source …

Condensation freezing inhibition is of great practical importance for anti-icing applications;
however, no coatings with this performance have been reported. Here, we report the …

The frosting phenomenon poses a potential threat to both industrial production and daily life.
Typically, a frost layer consists of frost crystals that grow on various micro-sized frozen …
