  1. Can geometry control where and when condensed water drips?

    Researchers from the @UniversitedeLiege Matteo Leonard and Nicolas Vandewalle, show that simple grooves can turn random edge dripping into regular, predictable release, opening new possibilities for dew harvesting and passive cooling.

  3. Can geometry alone control water on a surface?

    Researchers show that two simple laser-engraved grooves can stabilize a continuous water film over more than 30 cm, without coatings or special surface treatments.

    A simple route to passive liquid control.

  5. Researchers have directly observed surface chemical ordering in a high-entropy alloy for the first time. The discovery could improve control over advanced materials used in harsh environments.

  7. Surfaces designed to hide their heat signature often stop working once they get dirty.

    This study creates a microstructured coating that maintains its infrared properties because impacting water droplets actively remove contaminants.
