Biomimetic research indicates that many phenomena regarding wettability in nature, such as
the self-cleaning effect on a lotus leaf and cicada wing, the anisotropic dewetting behavior …

Oil/water separation is an important field, not only for scientific research but also for practical
applications aiming to resolve industrial oily wastewater and oil-spill pollution, as well as …

Background: Although rare, esophageal achalasia is the best described primary esophageal
motility disorder. Commonly used treatments are endoscopic botulin toxin injection (EBTI) …

A novel superhydrophilic and underwater superoleophobic polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogel‐
coated mesh is successfully fabricated in an oil/water/solid three‐phase system. Compared …

Super‐hydrophobic surfaces, with a water contact angle (CA) greater than 150°, have
attracted much interest for both fundamental research and practical applications. Recent …

Hierarchical micropapillae and nanofolds are known to exist on the petals' surfaces of red
roses. These micro-and nanostructures provide a sufficient roughness for …

Wettability is an important characteristic of solid surfaces and is controlled by the chemical
composition and the geometrical structure of the surface.[1, 2] Currently, the creation of a …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), ie small non-coding RNA molecules (∼ 22 nt), can bind to one or
more target sites on a gene transcript to negatively regulate protein expression …

Remarkable surface wettability transition occurs with an inducement of ultraviolet (UV) for
aligned ZnO nanorod films. The inorganic oxide films, which show super-hydrophobicity …

Botrytis cinerea, the causative agent of gray mold disease, is an aggressive fungal pathogen
that infects more than 200 plant species. Here, we show that some B. cinerea small RNAs …
