We propose a novel three-way coupling method to model the contact interaction between solid and fluid driven by strong surface tension. At heart of our physical is thin liquid membrane that simultaneously couples both volume rigid objects, facilitating accurate momentum transfer, collision processing, tension calculation. This implemented numerically under hybrid Eulerian-Lagrangian framework w...

Contact electrification exists everywhere and between every phase of matter. However, its mechanism still remains to be studied. The recent triboelectric nanogenerator serves as a probe provides some new clues about the present in solid–solid, solid–liquid, liquid–liquid contact electrification. gas–solid model exploited. Here, we investigated gases solids based on single-electrode nanogenerato...

A novel quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique was used to study the adhesion of nonfimbriated and fimbriated Escherichia coli mutant strains to hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces at different ionic strengths. This technique enabled us to measure both frequency shifts (Deltaf), i.e., the increase in mass on the surface, and dissipation shifts (DeltaD), i.e., the viscoelastic energy losse...
