Wetting highly compliant surfaces can cause them to deform. Atomically thin materials, such
as graphene, can have exceptionally small bending rigidities, leading to elasto-capillary …

Superhydrophobic surfaces—known for their exceptional water repellence—are exemplified
by natural phenomena such as the self-cleaning properties of the lotus leaves [1, 2] and the …

Soft materials are ubiquitous in technological applications that require deformability, for
instance, in flexible, water-repellent coatings. However, the wetting properties of pre …

We establish the existence of a cusp in the curvature of a solid sheet at its contact with a
liquid subphase. We study two configurations in floating sheets where the solid–vapor …
