Ice on an aircraft’s surfaces can be a hazard: it increases drag and fuel consumption, disrupts aerodynamic flows, and decreases lift, impairing an aircraft’s ability to fly safely. Researchers at the ...
A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2022.210052 overviews fabricating complex hierarchical biomimetic patterns with the use of novel spatiotemporally tailored interfering ...
Aim is to provide “lotus effects” and other laser-created microstructures for wings, biological implants and more. Laser-generated “lotus effects“ can be transferred quickly to technical surfaces. A ...
