Prof. Liqiu Wang, Chair Professor of HKU Mechanical Engineering and Director of HKU-ZIRI Nanofluids and Thermal Engineering Laboratory, along with his postdoctoral researcher Dr. Xin Tang, published a comprehensive and authoritative review on fluids manipulation in the prestigious journal Materials Today (Impact factor: 26.4). The review focuses on the unconventional liquid processing using retention-proof interfaces with special highlight on the multi-scale surface textures. The most advanced strategy, design, and underlying physic are delineated and summarized in details. The review is a recognition of the team’s research achievements on interfacial science and engineering. Details of the review may be found in the link at the end.
