Wetting and evaporation of sessile droplets are ubiquitous in nature and of importance to
many industrial and everyday processes. While most of the research on sessile droplets has …

Various organic reactions, including important synthetic reactions involving C–C, C–N, and
C–O bond formation as well as reactions of biomolecules, are accelerated when the …

Droplets abound in nature and technology. In general, they are multicomponent, and, when
out of equilibrium, have gradients in concentration, implying flow and mass transport …

Hybrid micro/nanostructures and light-absorbing pigment of melanin are two key factors for
the excellent antireflective properties of the butterfly wings of Ornithoptera goliath. In this …

Flow transport in confined spaces is ubiquitous in technological processes, ranging from
separation and purification of pharmaceutical ingredients by microporous membranes and …

Marangoni bursting describes the spontaneous spread of a droplet of a binary mixture of
alcohol/water deposited on a bath of oil, followed by its fast spontaneous fragmentation into …

Spreading and emulsification dynamics of a binary droplet of water and alcohol deposited
on a rapeseed oil pool or a glass substrate are accompanied by fingering instability that …

Multiphase flows are challenging systems to study, not only from a fundamental point of
view, but also from a practical one due to the difficulties in visualizing phases with similar …

This paper is associated with a video winner of a 2019 American Physical Society's Division
of Fluid Dynamics (DFD) Milton van Dyke Award for work presented at the DFD Gallery of …

This work focuses on kinetic analysis of high-temperature dewetting at metal/ceramic
interfaces. Metal films were deposited on ceramics via magnetron sputtering, followed by …
