In the winter, icing on solid surfaces is a typical occurrence that may create a slew of hassles
and even tragedies. Anti-icing surfaces are one of the effective solutions for this kind of …

A comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of droplets undergoing collisions with solid
surfaces is required in a number of technological and industrial situations. Recently, a new …

In this paper, we experimentally investigated the impact dynamics of different viscous
droplets on solid surfaces with diverse wettabilities. We show that the outcome of an …

Aircraft icing refers to ice formation and accumulation on the windward surface of aircrafts. It
is mainly caused by the striking of unstable supercooled water droplets suspended in clouds …

Understanding the underlying hydrodynamics and developing strategies to control bouncing
droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces are of fundamental and practical significance. While …

Both high static repellency and pressure resistance are critical to achieving a high-
performance omniphobic surface. The cuticles of springtails have both of these features …

Although the impingement of droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces has been extensively
studied, the critical role of the air is typically ignored, leading to some paradoxical …

Applications and examples of light and electron micrographs illustrating microstructures,
which describe metallurgical phenomena in 3D printing/additive manufacturing of metal and …

Under the background of the strategy of reducing pesticide application and increasing
efficiency, the mechanism and common technology of efficient and accurate target …

While commercial additive manufacturing processes involving direct metal wire or powder
deposition along with powder bed fusion technologies using laser and electron beam …
