Biomimetic nanosurfaces with distinct wettability and versatility have found special
enthusiasm in both fundamental research and industrial applications. With the advent of …

Fog on a solid surface is prejudicial to its optical properties and will even cause hygienic
and safety concerns in some exceptional cases. Thus, antifogging coatings have attracted …

Defects in nanomaterials often lead to properties that are absent in their pristine
counterparts. To date, most studies have focused on the effect of single defects, while …

Fogging of transparent surface is the condensation of water-vapor in the air into small
discrete liquid drops on the surface, causing scatters of incident light and create a blurry …

Nature-inspired self-cleaning surfaces have attracted considerable attention from both
fundamental research and practical applications. This review adopts a chemical …

We used supersonic aerosol deposition to fabricate transparent flexible thin “glass” films,
comprising SiO 2 and ZnO, with antibacterial, superhydrophilic, and anti-fog properties. A …

Abandoned plastics have become a serious hazard to the environment and ecology both on
land and in oceans; among them, waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) accounts for up to …

The multivariate condition of cancer disease has been approached in various ways, by the
scientific community. Recent studies focus on individualized treatments, minimizing the …

The control of surface wettability through a combination of surface roughness, chemical
composition, and structural modification has attracted significant attention for antifogging …

Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is largely threatening global public health,
social stability, and economy. Efforts of the scientific community are turning to this global …
