Nenad, Dan, Alex, and Ryan’s work on charged jumping droplets was selected as one of the most outstanding entries in the APS image and video galleries based on artistic content, originality, and their ability to convey...
This work shows that electric fields can help further enhance jumping droplet heat transfer and offer new avenues for improving the performance of self-cleaning and anti-icing surfaces as well as thermal diodes (link). The work is also highlighted in MIT...
Research on electrically charged jumping droplets was featured in the New York...
MPC (link) and MIT News (link) highlight research at DRL on ways to control changes in phase of gases and liquids to reduce power consumption in heating and cooling...
