One of the main characteristics a surface is its ability to be wetted by liquid. Surfaces can explicitly designed for full or poor wetting different liquid types easy sliding sticking droplets. The design functional surfaces crosses multiple length-scales and includes chemical functionalization, micro/nano-engineered structures, chemical/physical gradients, elasticity, etc. These features form ...

Patterned metal surfaces can host electron quantum waves that display interference phenomena over distances of a few nanometres, thus providing excellent information carriers for future atomic-scale devices. Here we demonstrate that collimation and waveguiding of surface electrons can be realized in silver-induced strain dislocation networks on Cu(111) surfaces, as a conceptual proof-of-princip...
