Beyond goniometry: 3D digital twinning of droplets from a single image
We present a method to produce physics‐informed three‐dimensional digital twins of droplets from a single image for wettability analyses. We validate the method with goniometry and demonstrate its capabilities with advancing‐receding contact angle measurements, irregularly shaped droplets, and multi‐droplet systems, indicating strong potential for in ...

3D printing of fluorine‐free omniphobic surfaces
Our work demonstrates that the simple and inexpensive digital light processing three‐dimensional printing can be used to fabricate micropillar arrays with doubly reentrant and triply reentrant features. The printed fluorine‐free surfaces display omniphobicity and resist the wetting of liquids with a wide range of surface tensions.

Bubble dynamics pose critical bottlenecks to hydrogen evolution reaction efficiency, causing active site isolation, increased ohmic resistance, and concentration overpotential, especially at high current densities. This review comprehensively summarizes passive and active bubble manipulation strategies, elucidates their underlying principles, and ...

Silicone oil–based ferrofluid microrobots for versatile magnetic digital microfluidics
A magneto‐silicobotic system is a magnetic digital microfluidic platform that employs a silicone oil–based ferrofluid droplet as a chemically and biologically inert microrobot for the versatile manipulation of droplets and solid particles. Abstract Magnetic digital microfluidics offers a promising alternative to the dominant electrowetting‐based ...
