Flexible and stretchable electronics have attractive applications inaccessible to conventional rigid electronics. However, the mainstream transfer printing techniques have challenges for electronic films in terms of thickness and size and limitations for target substrates in terms of curvature, depth, and interfacial adhesion. Here a facile, damage...

Water collection by dew condensation emerges as a sustainable solution to water scarcity. However, the transient condensation process that involves droplet nucleation, growth, and transport imposes conflicting requirements on surface properties. It is challenging to satisfy all benefits for different condensation stages simultaneously. By mimicking...

On superhydrophobic surfaces, small condensate droplets exhibit a preferred self-propelled jumping by a coa-lescence-induced energy release, but large condensate droplets in several millimeters remain immobile. The accumulation of large condensate droplets leads to many problems such as shielding the growth of small droplets and increasing the ther...

Vortex generators (VGs) are widely employed to improve the heat transfer performance of tube-fin heat exchangers. In this study, a novel arrangement of VGs with ten triangular VGs deployed around the circular tubes regularly on both sides of fins is proposed. The influences of the fins on fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are investigate...
