Jumping-Droplet-Enhanced Condensation on Scalable Superhydrophobic Nanostructured Surfaces

When droplets coalesce on a superhydrophobic nanostructured surface, the resulting droplet can jump from the surface due to the release of excess surface energy. If designed properly, these superhydrophobic nanostructured surfaces can not only allow for easy droplet removal at micrometric length sca...
