Antitangling and manufacturable Fog Harps for high‐efficiency water harvesting
Droplet, 2023 Fog Harps harvest substantially more water than conventional mesh‐based harvesters. However, to date, all large‐scale Fog Harps have been impractically hand‐wound at low wire tensions and suffer from elastocapillary wire tangling.

Thermocapillary flow‐induced core release from double‐emulsion droplets in microchannels
Droplet, 2023 The use of double emulsions (DEs), which represent colloidal structures composed of droplets nested within droplets, can provide for unparallel droplet manipulation in droplet‐based microfluidic technology due to their unique core–shell structures.

Actuating droplets with electrowetting: Force and dynamics
DropletElectrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) allows rapid movement of liquid droplets on a smooth surface, with applications ranging from lab‐on‐chip devices to micro‐actuators. The in‐plane force on a droplet is a key indicator of EWOD performance.
