Hybrid electrodes effective for both electrowetting‐ and dielectrowetting‐driven digital microfluidics

open access: yesDroplet, 2023
Electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) and dielectrowetting (DEW) are two major principles to drive droplets in digital microfluidics. EWOD is effective to manipulate (create, transport, split, and merge) conductive droplets being currently used for many ...

Exploring anomalous nanofluidic transport at the interfaces

open access: yesDroplet
Transport of ions and water is essential for diverse physiological activities and industrial applications. As the dimension approaches nano and even angstrom scale, ions and water exhibit anomalous behaviors that differ significantly from the bulk.

Droplet orthogonal impact on nonuniform wettability surfaces

open access: yesDroplet, 2023
The vast majority of prior studies on droplet impact have focused on collisions of liquid droplets with spatially homogeneous (i.e., uniform‐wettability) surfaces.

Coarsening droplets for frosting delay on hydrophilic slippery liquid‐infused porous surfaces

open access: yesDroplet
Frosting occurs due to the freezing of condensed water droplets on a supercooled surface. The nucleated frost propagates through interdroplet bridges and covers the entire surface, resulting from the deposition of highly supersaturated vapor surrounding ...

Janus liquid marbles: Fabrication techniques, recent developments, and applications

open access: yesDroplet, 2023
Liquid marbles (LMs) are nonsticky droplets stabilized by hydrophobic solid particles that are adsorbed at the liquid–air interface. LMs are emerging as a potential platform in digital microfluidics, sensing applications, storage unit, biological ...

Regulating droplet impact symmetry by surface engineering

open access: yesDroplet, 2023
Droplet impact on solid surfaces is essential both in nature and industry. Precisely regulating the dynamic behavior of droplet impact is of great significance for energy harvesting, anti‐icing, inkjet printing, pesticide spraying, and many other fields.
