DOI: 10.1038/srep41448
Abstract: Among diverse methods for drag reduction, superhydrophobicity has shown considerable promise because it can produce a shear-free boundary without energy input. However, the plastron experiences a limited lifetime due to the dissolution of trapped air… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/5.0187081
Abstract: In this work, we experimentally investigated the impact of surface roughness on drag reduction as well as the plastron stability of superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) in turbulent flows. A series of SHSs were fabricated by spraying… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/5.0294859
Abstract: Most theoretical and numerical studies of friction drag reduction on longitudinal micro-trench superhydrophobic (SHPo) surfaces assume the trenches are infinitely long, while they are inevitably of a finite length when implemented on water vehicles. This… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/08912963.2024.2410463
Abstract: ABSTRACT Nanhsiungchelys (Testudines: Nanhsiungchelyidae) has been established in the 1960s, but its plastral morphology is not well understood. Here, we report an anterior lobe of the plastron of Nanhsiungchelys from the Upper Cretaceous of Ganzhou… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1748-5967.12423
Abstract: Eggs of the Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus are fully covered with an air‐covering plastron network that enables them to stay below the surface of the water. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the chorionic surface… read more here.
