DOI: 10.1039/d2sm01622b
Abstract: A myriad of natural surfaces such as plant leaves and insect wings can repel water and remain unwetted inspiring scientists and engineers to develop water-repellent surfaces for various applications. Those natural and artificial water-repellent surfaces… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.129.084501
Abstract: We analyze shape oscillations of sessile water drops with fully mobile contact lines (CL) aboard the International Space Station. The unique microgravity environment enables the study of centimeter-sized droplets with associated inertial-capillary motions. Plane-normal substrate… read more here.
