Scientists have developed a technique for creating surfaces that can slide past each other with virtually no friction, and their findings could create new opportunities for engineering in ...

When it comes to creating surfaces, it's a simple task to either make ones that are smooth or ones that are bumpy. But now researchers at MIT have created one that can be both. The 3D-printed surface ...

Scientists create surfaces with differently shaped nanoscale textures that may yield improved materials for applications in transportation, energy, and diagnostics. Surfaces with differently shaped ...

Hydrophobic surfaces show low surface energy, so water droplets tend to repel against the surface and create beads that form a spherical droplet with a high water contact angle (>90°). Surfaces can be ...
