This is the first time researchers have demonstrated reversible switching between static and dynamic self-assembly. Researchers from Aalto University and Paris Tech have placed water droplet... Read more
ETH researchers are able to make objects such as particles and liquid droplets fly in mid-air by letting them ride on acoustic waves. For the first time, they have been able to also control... Read more
By designing droplets using electricity, researchers have opened new possibilities in physics. This technique could possibly be used for everything from extracting oil from wells to creating... Read more
The team’s experiments showed that the efficiency of heat transfer using these treated surfaces could be increased by 30 percent Scalable nanopatterned surfaces designed by MIT researchers c... Read more
To help planes fly safely through cold, wet, and icy conditions, a team of Japanese scientists has developed a new super water-repellent surface that can prevent ice from forming in these ha... Read more
