Well done. You've clicked the tower. This would actually achieve something if you had logged in first. Use the key for that. The name takes you home. This is where all the applicables sit. And you can't apply any changes to my site unless you are logged in.

Our policy is best summarized as "we don't care about _you_, we care about _them_", no emails, so no forgetting your password. You have no rights. It's like you don't even exist. If you publish material, I reserve the right to remove it, or use it myself.

Don't impersonate. Don't name someone involuntarily. You can lose everything if you cross the line, and no, I won't cancel your automatic payments first, so you'll have to do it the hard way. See how serious this sounds? That's how serious you're meant to take these.

arXiv:2404.11899v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Wettability is a fundamental physicochemical property of solid surfaces, with unique wettability patterns playing pivotal roles across diverse domains. Inspired by nature's ingenious designs, bio-inspired materials have emerged as a frontier of scientific inquiry. They showcase remarkable hydrophobic properties observed in phenomena such as mosquitoes preventing fog condensation, and lotus leaves exhibiting self-cleaning attributes. This groundbreaking research delves into the hydrophobic characteristics of biomimetic surfaces using coarse-grained molecular simulation and the free energy barrier evaluation system. By analyzing the butterfly wings and mosquito eyes model, we aim to pioneer a comprehensive framework that factors in the influence of surface parameters on the free energy barrier. Through meticulous simulation and analysis, we strive to validate and enhance the reliability of the free energy barrier assessment method, deepening our understanding of hydrophobicity across diverse biomaterials and paving the way for optimizing their properties for a myriad of applications. During our investigation, we shed light on the elusive intermediate state, a departure from the typical Cassie or Wenzel state, enriching our theoretical framework for surfaces with distinctive properties. This research is a catalyst for developing biomimetic materials with superior hydrophobic characteristics and innovative fabrication processes, transcending academic boundaries and promising significant strides in environmental conservation, medicine, and beyond, offering hope for a greener, healthier, and more sustainable future.
