Droplets Manipulated On Nanostructured Silicon Surfaces

Tuesday, May 26, 2009 - 15:28 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers have studied silicon micro and nanofabrication methods, which have a large number of applications. They have found a novel nanopatterned silicon surface that allows almost limitless manipulation of water droplets. Droplet shapes can be tailored freely, and the nanopatterned surface can be made completely water-repellent. On such a surface, a water droplet bounces like a tennis ball.
