TL;DR: In this paper, dynamically tunable, superlyophobic surfaces capable of undergoing a transition from profound superyophobic behavior to almost complete wetting have been demonstrated for the first time, and the results provide novel methods of manipulating liquids on the microscale.

TL;DR: Elect electrically controlled fully reversible wetting-dewetting transitions on superhydrophobic nanostructured surfaces have been demonstrated and can provide a new method of dynamically controlling liquid-solid interactions.

TL;DR: In this article, the velocity and pressure fields, free surface shape and wave speed are computed simultaneously as functions of the Reynolds number Re and the wave number μ, and compared with predictions of long-wave, asymptotic theories and boundary-layer approximations for the form and nonlinear transitions of finite-amplitude waves that evolve from the flat film state.

TL;DR: The design, fabricated, and experimentally characterized a microfluidic device for ultra-high heat flux dissipation using evaporation from a nanoporous silicon membrane, suggesting that evaporative membrane-based approaches can be promising towards realizing an efficient, high flux thermal management strategy over large areas for high-performance electronics.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new mixed finite element method is presented that has improved numerical stability and has similar numerical accuracy compared to the EVSS/FEM developed by Rajagopalan et al. (J. Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech).
