Topography‐Free Dual‐Lubricant Patterned Slippery Surfaces for Programmable Droplet Control and High‐Performance Water Harvesting

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A patterned dual‐lubricant SLIPS creates interfacial energy asymmetry, guiding droplet migration without external actuation. Condensed droplets formed on the fluorinated‐oil‐infused regions migrate to the silicone‐oil‐infused domains, where rapid growth and coalescence occur.

Water Drops Sliding Over Arrays of Janus Micropillars With Hydrophilic Tops: A New Mechanism of Drop Charging

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A water drop slides over a distance of a few centimeters across arrays whose top surfaces exhibit a contact angle below 10°. The arrays are fabricated with hydrophilic tops and hydrophobic sidewalls and substrate, forming Janus structures. As the drop moves, it generates a spontaneous electric charge and leaves behind tiny satellite droplets that ...

Facile Fabrication of Superhydrophobic Surfaces with Hierarchical Structures via Water Vapor Condensation

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
In this work, we demonstrate a facile and robust strategy for fabricating superhydrophobic surfaces by introducing micro‐scale hierarchical structures via controlled water vapor condensation. The modulation of condensation time enables the fabrication of dual‐level hierarchical structures, which were systematically validated through contact angle and ...

Recent advances of non‐invasive sensors for smart wearable respiratory monitoring

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Respiration contains rich physiological and pathological information, making it one of the most fundamental and continuous vital signs. Respiration monitoring is a non‐invasive and simple, but incredibly powerful, tool for assessing health, managing disease, and tracking fitness.

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.
