TL;DR: In this paper, the theoretical mechanisms of the wetting of rough surfaces are presented followed by the characterization of natural leaf surfaces and a comprehensive review is presented on artificial super-hydrophobic surfaces fabricated using various fabrication techniques and the influence of micro-, nano-and hierarchical structures on superhydrophobicity, self-cleaning, low adhesion, and drag reduction.

TL;DR: In this paper, an understanding of the molecular mechanisms of tribology in thin films and at surfaces has been presented, which is of fundamental importance in many pure and applied sciences, such as computer simulations.

TL;DR: In this article, the continuous stiffness measurement (CSM) technique was used for the characterization of layered materials and nonhomogeneous composites and applied to the measurement of contact stiffness, elastic modulus, hardness, creep resistance, and fatigue properties of the materials used in magnetic storage devices.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a theory of the real area of contact (ROC) between two surfaces and show that the ROC can be represented as a triangle of a triangle.

TL;DR: In this paper, Lane et al. present a detailed overview of various aspects of micro-nodes and their application in data storage applications, including the development of the "Millipede" data-storage system.
