Ultrafast Spontaneous Motion of Nanodroplets
Cunjing Lv, Chao Chen, Yin-Chuan Chuang +4
Making liquid droplets move spontaneously on solid surfaces is a key challenge in lab-on-chip and heat exchanger technologies. The best-known mechanism, a wettability gradient, doe…
Driving Droplets by Curvi-Propulsion
Cunjing Lv, Chao Chen, Yin-Chuan Chuang +4
How to make small liquid droplets move spontaneously and directionally on solid surfaces is a challenge in lab-on-chip technologies, DNA analysis, and heat exchangers. The best-kno…
Ultrafast Drop Movements Arising from Curvature Gradient
Cunjing Lv, Chao Chen, Yin-Chuan Chuang +3
We report experimental observation of a kind of fast spontaneous movements of water drops on surfaces of cones with diameters from 0.1 to 1.5 mm. The observed maximum speed (0.22 m…
Viscous damping of nanobeam resonators: humidity, thermal noise and the paddling effect
Chao Chen, Ming Ma, Jefferson Zhe Liu +2
The nanobeam resonator is the key mechanical component in the nano-electromechanical system. In addition to its high frequency originating from its low dimension, the performance i…
Curvature Gradient Driving Droplets in Fast Motion
Cunjing Lv, Chao Chen, Yajun Yin +2
Earlier works found out spontaneous directional motion of liquid droplets on hydrophilic conical surfaces, however, not hydrophobic case. Here we show that droplets on any surface…
Surface Curvature-Induced Directional Movement of Water Droplets
Cunjing Lv, Chao Chen, Yajun Yin +1
Here we report a surface curvature-induced directional movement phenomenon, based on molecular dynamics simulations, that a nanoscale water droplet at the outer surface of a graphe…
