Inspired by Mother Nature, scientists of City University of Hong Kong (CityU) have discovered that the spreading direction of different liquids deposited on the same surface can be steered, a challenge that had remained unsolved for over two centuries.
This breakthrough enriches our understanding of conventional solid-liquid interactions, and it has profound implications for a whole range of scientific and industrial contexts, such as fluidics design and heat transfer enhancement.
