The topic of water and the way it can move producing water droplets that leap -- propelled by surface tension -- and frost that jumps -- by way of electrostatics -- is a central focus of a group of ...

When you're waiting for a pot of water to heat up on the stove, tiny bubbles are the first sign it's getting ready to boil. As the water gets hotter, the bubbles get bigger, until a rolling boil ...

Boiling heat transfer on engineered surfaces relies on the controlled formation, growth and departure of vapour bubbles at the solid–liquid interface. Surface micro- and nanostructures can tailor ...
