TL;DR: In situ liquid-air interfaces on a submerged surface patterned with cylindrical micropores using confocal microscopy are examined, finding a similarity law along with a characteristic time scale is derived which governs the lifetime of the air pockets and can be used to predict the longevity of underwater superhydrophobicity.

TL;DR: It is shown that the evaporation of ternary mixtures of liquids with different volatilities and mutual solubilities can trigger a phase transition and the nucleation of microdroplets of one of the components of the mixture.

TL;DR: Tan et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the evaporation of mixture droplets in more detail, by successively increasing the mixture complexity from pure water over a binary water-ethanol mixture to the ternary Ouzo mixture (water, ethanol and anise oil).

TL;DR: This paper investigates the wetting states on submersed hydrophobic surfaces with one-level structure under hydrostatic pressure and shows that a strategy of using hierarchical structures can strengthen the TCL pinning of the liquid-air interface in the metastable state.

TL;DR: In this paper, a sessile Ouzo droplet is modeled as a transparent mixture of water, ethanol, and anise oil and its four life phases are analyzed.
