In organic optoelectronic devices, the control of molecular deposition on thin films is important for optimal surface arrangement and device performance. In a recent study, researchers developed a new ...

Clay minerals are a major constituent of the earth's surface and are mainly found in the sediments of lakes, rivers and oceans. The properties of clay and claystone crucially depend on how the tiny ...

Water droplets can slide down or bounce off a leaf's surface because it has a waxy hydrophobic (water-repellent) coating. However, this poses a challenge to farmers when pesticides are sprayed, as the ...
