Efficient Autonomous Dew Water Harvesting by Laser Micropatterning: Superhydrophilic and High Emissivity Robust Grooved Metallic Surfaces Enabling Filmwise Condensation and Radiative Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Laser micropatterning is presented as a promising technology in the search for autonomous dew water harvesting materials. Laser‐grooved metallic surfaces achieve simultaneously high infrared emissivity and superhydrophilicity, which gives them self‐cooling properties under atmospheric radiative deficit and the ability to condense water in an efficient ...

Connecting Droplet Adhesion with Sperm Kinematics: A New Paradigm in Sperm Quality Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates direct experimental evidence to establish a nonintuitive connection between the motion characteristics of self‐propelled sperm cells and their surface interaction. Simultaneous motion visualization and cantilever‐deflection‐based adhesion characterization reveal that sperm‐cell droplets with higher motility exhibit lower surface

Alignment, Rising, Sticking, and Phototaxis: Modulating the Behavior of Hematite Micropeanuts

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Although a rich variety of behaviors, such as rising and phototaxis, are observed with light‐activated semiconductor microparticles, the experimental conditions under which such behaviors occur have not been elucidated. In this study, pH, fuel concentration, and light intensity are varied, revealing diverse behaviors of hematite microparticles.

Removal of Natural Organic Matter Fractions by Kaolin/Fly Ash Ceramic Microfiltration Membrane in Drinking Water: Insights from a Laboratory Scale Application

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The prepared ceramic membrane exhibited 28.84 µm average pore size and hydrophilic properties (≈27.4° contact angle). FTIR shows the presence of aluminol, siloxane, and hydroxyl groups and XRD confirms the presence of quartz and kaolinite phases. Separation of natural organic matter from drinking water is achieved by microfiltration at 0.25 bar and is ...

Progressive Correspondence Regenerator for Robust 3D Registration [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Obtaining enough high-quality correspondences is crucial for robust registration. Existing correspondence refinement methods mostly follow the paradigm of outlier removal, which either fails to correctly identify the accurate correspondences under extreme outlier ratios, or select too few correct correspondences to support robust registration.

Expanding Transparent Covalently Attached Liquid‐Like Surfaces for Icephobic Coatings with Broad Substrate Compatibility

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study introduces an approach for creating liquid‐like slippery surfaces (LLS) on various substrates. An epoxy‐silicon (EpSi) coating is applied, plasma‐activated, and immersed in an organosilane solution, forming siloxane chains. The resulting LLS exhibits ultra‐low ice adhesion, high transparency, self‐cleaning, and anti‐staining properties ...

On continuity of correspondences of probability measures in the category of Tychonov spaces [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2005
We consider the correspondence assigning to every Radon measure on two Tychonoff coordinate spaces the set of probability measures with these marginals. It is proved that this correspondence is continuous.
