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 ...

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we study the hydrophobic effect on electrically doped single layer graphene. With doping levels measured in volts, large changes in contact angle occur for modest ...

Scientists from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IITG) have developed a surface material that repels water droplets almost entirely. Left: ...
