Harvesting water surface energy: self-jumping nanostructured hydrophobic metals
Summary: Water in motion is a significant energy source worldwide, but the surface energy of water is rarely utilized as a power source. In this study, we made metals unsinkable and able to jump out of the water by harvesting the water surface energy. This effect is attributed to the enhanced floati...
