Stretchable electronics, ie elastic electronics that can be bent and stretched, is a new,
emerging class of electronics, based on building electronic circuits or devices on stretchable …

The effects of strain energy on the preferred orientation of TiN thin films were investigated. In
the TiN film deposited by plasma‐enhanced chemical‐vapor deposition with a power of 50 …

One of the most questionable issues in wetting is the force balance that includes the vertical
component of liquid surface tension. On soft solids, the vertical component leads to a …

When a coffee drop dries on a solid surface, it leaves a ringlike deposit along the edge and
this is known as the “coffee-ring effect.” We find a different motion of particles repelling the …

Numerous cell types have shown a remarkable ability to detect and move along gradients in
stiffness of an underlying substrate—a process known as durotaxis. The mechanisms …

DOI: 10.1002/adma. 201404945 architecture [13] we also were able to demonstrate an
unprecedented stretchable UV–vis–NIR NWPD array without performance degradation under …

When a liquid drop impacts a solid surface, air is generally entrapped underneath. Using
ultrafast x-ray phase-contrast imaging, we directly visualized the profile of an entrapped air film …

Colloidal particles suspended in a fluid usually inhibit complete wetting of the fluid on a solid
surface and cause pinning of the contact line, known as self-pinning. We show differences …

The optical glow of ceramics that becomes established during the constant state of flash,
known as Stage III in flash sintering experiments, is investigated. The specimen temperature in …

ZnO nanoflowers prepared by a solution-based hydrothermal growth method result in
effective osteoblast growth with higher DNA content, ALP activity, and adhesion strength than …
