Evolution of the water cluster in pore condensation

Droplet, 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.
