Passive radiative cooling using nanophotonic structures is limited by its high cost and poor compatibility with existing end uses, whereas polymeric photonic alternatives lack weather resistance effective solar reflection. We developed a cellular ceramic that can achieve highly efficient light scattering near-perfect reflectivity of 99.6%. These qualities, coupled thermal emissivity, allow the to provide continuous subambient in an outdoor setting power >130 watts per square meter at noon,...
Poly( l -lactic acid) (PLLA) is a widely used U.S. Food and Drug Administration–approved implantable biomaterial that also possesses strong piezoelectricity. However, the intrinsically low stability of its high-energy piezoelectric β phase random domain orientations associated with current synthesis approaches remain critical roadblock to practical applications. Here, we report an interfacial anchoring strategy for fabricating core/shell PLLA/glycine (Gly) nanofibers (NFs) by...
Splash, one of the most visually apparent droplet dynamics, can manifest on any surface above a certain impact velocity, regardless wettability. Previous studies demonstrate that elevating substrate temperature suppress splash, which is unfavorable for many practical applications, such as spray cooling and combustion. Here, we report suppression effect splash nullified by utilizing surfaces with nanostructures. By manipulating air evacuation time through nanostructures, have identified...
Microbubble's mass transfer under external acoustic excitation holds immense potential across various technological fields. However, the current state of technology faces limitations due to inadequate control over bubble size in liquids excitation. Here, we conducted numerical investigations behavior microbubbles multifrequency excitations with different frequencies (in MHz range), pressure amplitudes range several atmospheric pressures), and amplitude ratios. We identified threshold regions...
Electrowetting presents a powerful technique for manipulating droplets, but its potential to enhance post-impact droplet rebound remains insufficiently understood and underutilized. In this study, we realize the regulation of enhancement suppression in impacting Galinstan water droplets using square pulse electrowetting techniques. We numerically investigate effects width, surface wettability, liquid properties on characteristics demonstrate phase diagram modes. Our findings reveal that...
Dynamic wetting in confined spaces is pivotal for the functional efficiency of biological organisms and offers significant potential optimizing microdevices. The fluids encountered such scenarios often exhibit shear-thinning behavior, which gives rise to complex interfacial phenomena. Here, we present an intriguing phenomenon capillary spaces. employed fluids, carboxymethyl cellulose aqueous solutions with mass fractions 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 wt %, intermediate state between ideal viscoelastic...
Abstract Dropwise condensation represents the upper limit of heat transfer. Promoting dropwise relies on surface chemical functionalization, and is fundamentally limited by maximum droplet departure size. A century research has focused active passive methods to enable removal ever smaller droplets. However, fundamental contact line pinning limitations prevent gravitational shear-based droplets than 250 µm. Here, we break this limitation through near field condensation. By de-coupling...
