Self-propelled Leidenfrost droplets on femtosecond-laser-induced surface with periodic hydrophobicity gradient
The controllable transfer of droplets on the surface of objects has a wide application prospect in the fields of microfluidic devices, fog collection and so on. The Leidenfrost effect can be utilized to significantly reduce motion resistance. However, the use of 3D structures limits the widespread a...
