A droplet's pancake bounce
New discovery about how surface gradients influence droplet behavior may enable novel surfaces
06-Aug-2015 -
Studies of the impact a droplet makes on solid surfaces hark back more than a century. And until now, it was generally believed that a droplet's impact on a solid surface could always be separated into two phases: spreading and retracting.
But it's much more complex than that, as a team of ...
