Liquid droplets are very simple objects present in our everyday life. They are extremely important for many natural phenomena as well as for a broad variety of industrial processes. The conventional research areas in which the droplets are studied in...
Exclusive liquid repellency (ELR) describes an extreme wettability phenomenon in which a liquid phase droplet is completely repelled from a solid phase when exposed to a secondary immiscible liquid phase. Earlier, we developed a multi-liquid-phase op...

Controllable underwater gas bubble (UGB) transport on a surface is realized by geography-/stimuli-induced wettability gradient force (). Unfortunately, the high-speed maneuvering of UGBs along free routes on planar surfaces remains challenging. Herei...

In this study, a wettability-predicting method that uses an artificial neural network (ANN) by learning from digital images of the actual surface structures was developed. Polyester film surfaces were treated with oxygen plasma to realize various nan...
Miniature magnetic soft machines could significantly impact minimally invasive robotics and biomedical applications. However, most soft machines are limited to solid magnetic materials, whereas further progress also relies on fluidic constructs obtai...
