Inkjet printing is the most widespread technological application of microfluidics. It is
characterized by its high drop productivity, small volumes, and extreme reproducibility. This …

A drop hitting a solid surface can deposit, bounce, or splash. Splashing arises from the
breakup of a fine liquid sheet that is ejected radially along the substrate. Bouncing and …

Dynamic variables of drop impact such as force, drag, pressure, and stress distributions are
key to understanding a wide range of natural and industrial processes. While the study of …

Making use of experimental and theoretical considerations, in this Letter we deduce a
criterion to determine the critical velocity for which a drop impacting a smooth dry surface …

Droplet impacting on solid or liquid interfaces is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature.
Although complete rebound of droplets is widely observed on superhydrophobic surfaces …

The impingement of drops onto solid surfaces, plays a crucial role in a variety of processes,
including inkjet printing, fog harvesting, anti-icing, dropwise condensation and spray …

For centuries, bubbles have fascinated artists, engineers, and scientists alike. In spite of
century-long research on them, new and often surprising bubble phenomena, features, and …

When a liquid droplet impacts a hot solid surface, enough vapor may be generated under it
to prevent its contact with the solid. The minimum solid temperature for this so-called …

Technologies including (3D-)(bio-) printing, diesel engines, laser-induced forward transfer,
and spray cleaning require optimization and therefore understanding of micrometer-sized …

Understanding the interaction of supercooled metastable water with superhydrophobic
surface textures is of fundamental significance for unraveling the mechanisms of icing as …
