Statistical framework for condensation frosting incipience on smooth and nanostructured surfaces

open access: yesDroplet, EarlyView.
A statistical framework for frost incipience that considers the effect of surface wettability and captures the stochastic nature of both nucleation dynamics for condensation and droplet growth during the subsequent freezing process. Abstract Frost and ice formation on a solid surface is governed by nanoscale liquid‒solid intermolecular interactions ...

Recent advances in boosting interfacial bubble dynamics with external fields

open access: yesDroplet, EarlyView.
External physical fields, including acoustic, magnetic, thermal, mechanical, and optical stimuli, accelerate the entire bubble‐dynamics sequence of nucleation, growth, and detachment. Abstract The efficiency of industrial electrocatalytic reactions depends not only on generating gaseous products but also on their detachment from the catalyst surface ...

Evolution of the water cluster in pore condensation

open access: yesDroplet, EarlyView.
In pore condensation, lower contact angles reduce molecular displacement (60%) and potential energy (10%), enhancing vapor capture tenfold. Pores restrict water molecule mobility, promoting condensation. On hydrophobic surfaces (124∘$^\circ$), pores stabilize embryos, ensuring uniform condensation within pores, boosting nucleation efficiency.

Temperature‐dependent shear behavior and constitutive model of the rock–concrete interface

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Shear tests were conducted to investigate the temperature‐dependent shear behavior of the rock–concrete interface, highlighting the interaction between the surrounding rock and the lining during tunnel fires. Under experimental conditions, concrete exhibited greater temperature sensitivity than rock, with the shear fracture surface transitioning from ...

Bio‐Inspired Ordered WO3 Nano‐Helixes Enable Multi‐Band Electrochromic Smart Windows with Ultrafast Switching and Robust Cyclability

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Biomimetic ordered nano‐helix WO3 films enable multi‐band electrochromic photothermal management across the visible, near‐infrared, mid‐ and long‐wave infrared spectra, with ultrafast switching (<3 s) and robust durability (>10 000 cycles). These findings establish new paradigms for next‐generation photothermal management systems and energy‐efficient ...
