Long-distance cargo ships lose a significant amount of energy due to fluid friction. Looking to the drag reduction mechanisms employed by aquatic life can provide inspiration on how to improve ...
A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2023.210163 discusses how carnivorous plants inspire smart slippery surfaces and bionic robots. Carnivorous plants have inspired ...
The electrostatic rod can change the motion path of the free-falling raindrop, causing the raindrop to be either attracted or repelled away. These phenomena prove that electrostatic fields are a ...
(Nanowerk News) A research team led by Dr. DU Xuemin from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT), Chinese Academy of Sciences, has reported a new slippery material with superior ...
SALEM, Va. – Walking on an icy surface like a sidewalk or parking lot may seem easy in theory, but it’s probably harder -- and more dangerous -- than you think. Industrial Biodynamics’ slip simulator ...
Fish and seaweed secrete a layer of mucus to create a slippery surface, reducing their friction as they travel through water. A potential way to mimic this is by creating lubricant-infused surfaces ...
