When a water droplet interacts with a surface to form a contact angle, the interfacial molecular forces determine the geometry of a droplet resonator. Dramatic mechanical changes at the interface play ...

In hydrogen production catalysts, water droplets must detach easily from the surface to prevent blockage by bubbles, allowing for faster hydrogen generation. In semiconductor manufacturing, the ...

(Nanowerk News) Knowing how surface materials interact with liquids is crucial to everything from printing to recovering oil spills from water. Being able to accurately and reliably analyse the minute ...

Right angles: round, elliptical and nearly square-shaped droplets. (Courtesy: R Schulman/McMaster University) The shape of a liquid droplet can be controlled precisely by sandwiching it between two ...

(Nanowerk News) Tiny molecular forces at the surface of water droplets can play a big role in laser output emissions. As the most fundamental matrix of life, water drives numerous essential biological ...
