Nature has developed materials, objects, and processes that function from the macroscale to
the nanoscale. The emerging field of biomimetics allows one to mimic biology or nature to …

Multiscale Dissipative Mechanisms and Hierarchical Surfaces covers the rapidly developing
topics of hierarchical surfaces, roughness-induced superhydrophobicity and biomimetic …

Superhydrophobic surfaces exhibit extreme water-repellent properties. These surfaces with
high contact angle and low contact angle hysteresis also exhibit a self-cleaning effect and …

The micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) need to be designed to perform
