Superhydrophobic surfaces—those famously "never-wet" materials that make water bead up and roll away—have a stubborn weakness: hot water. Once temperatures climb above roughly 40 degrees Celsius, many ...
UPTON, NY-When it comes to designing extremely water-repellent surfaces, shape and size matter. That's the finding of a group of scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National ...
A multilayered insulated superhydrophobic (MISH) coating capable of repelling near-boiling water, hot milk, coffee and soup that promises to help never-wet surfaces stay effective even at high ...
Scientists create surfaces with differently shaped nanoscale textures that may yield improved materials for applications in transportation, energy, and diagnostics. Surfaces with differently shaped ...
