Non-wetting surfaces containing micro/nanotextures impregnated with lubricating liquids
have recently been shown to exhibit superior non-wetting performance compared to …

… Kripa K. Varanasi and colleagues now show that drops bounce off faster from a
superhydrophobic surface with a morphology that redistributes the liquid mass so that it no longer …

We study frost formation and its impact on icephobic properties of superhydrophobic surfaces.
Using an environmental scanning electron microscope, we show that frost nucleation …

Ice formation and accretion may hinder the operation of many systems critical to national
infrastructure, including airplanes, power lines, windmills, ships, and telecommunications …

Hydrophobic materials that are robust to harsh environments are needed in a broad range
of applications 1 , 2 , 3 . Although durable materials such as metals and ceramics, which are …

Nanotextured superhydrophobic surfaces have received significant attention due to their
ability to easily shed liquid drops. However, water droplets have been shown to condense …

Heterogeneous nucleation of water plays an important role in a wide range of natural and
industrial processes. Though heterogeneous nucleation of water is ubiquitous and an …

In this paper we revisit local feature detectors/descriptors developed for 2D images and extend
them to the more general framework of scalar fields defined on 2D manifolds. We provide …

This paper studies the impinging droplets on superhydrophobic textured surfaces and
proposes a design guideline for nonwetting surfaces under droplet impingement. A new wetting …

Frost formation is a major problem affecting a variety of industries including transportation,
power generation, construction, and agriculture. Currently used active chemical, thermal, and …
