Due to water's unique surface tension properties, droplets glide across textured materials like black silicon by riding on a thin air-film gap trapped beneath. This works great when the droplets move ...

Biological tissues exhibit two contradictory properties: they have a robust architecture that is required for their maintenance and resistance to stress, and they can be extensively remodelled during ...

Researchers adapt a novel force measurement technique to uncover the previously unidentified physics at play at the thin air-film gap between water droplets and superhydrophobic surfaces. Microscopic ...
