Orbital Electrowetting: From Continuous Droplet Transport to Programmable Microfluidics
This work comprehensively summarizes the mechanisms, recent advances, potential applications, and key challenges of orbital electrowetting. It highlights that integrating orbital electrowetting with conventional electrowetting is required to enable complete digital‐microfluidic workflows while simplifying platform architecture.

The moss flora in the central urban area of Belgrade [PDF]
In floristic research on mosses in the central urban area of Belgrade, the presence of 58 species classified into 23 genera and 12 families was verified. The mosses occur in different specific and extreme microhabitats. Diversity of the bryoflora in urban ecosystems can be explained in terms of the large number of different habitats found on large ...

Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches
This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.
