Transforming Auxetic Metamaterials into Superhydrophobic Surfaces
Small StructuresSuperhydrophobic materials are often inspired by nature, whereas metamaterials are engineered to have properties not usually occurring naturally. In both, the key to their unique properties is structure. Here, it is shown that a negative Poisson's ratio (

Flow‐Induced Long‐Term Stable Slippery Surfaces
Advanced Science, 2019 Slippery lubricant‐infused surfaces allow easy removal of liquid droplets on surfaces. They consist of textured or porous substrates infiltrated with a chemically compatible lubricant. Capillary forces help to keep the lubricant in place.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

Wet adhesion and adhesive locomotion of snails on anti-adhesive non-wetting surfaces
, 2012 Creating surfaces capable of resisting liquid-mediated adhesion is extremely difficult due to the strong capillary forces that exist between surfaces.

Enhancing permeability and porosity of ceramic shells for investment casting through pre-wetting
, 2022 In this study, a method known as pre-wetting is applied between the multilayer ceramic investment casting shells to enhance porosity and permeability while sustaining flexural strength.

Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, 2011 Consider a droplet of liquid on top of a grooved substrate. The wetting or not of a groove implies the crossing of a potential barrier as the interface has to distort, to hit the bottom of the groove. We start with computing the free energies of the dry and wet states in the context of a simple thermodynamical model before switching to a random ...

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.
