Record-speed waves on extremely water-repellent surfaces

SMRTR summary

Physicists and biomedical researchers have discovered new properties of capillary waves on superhydrophobic surfaces, setting a speed record 45 times faster than normal. The "plastronic waves" generated on a synthetic lotus leaf-inspired surface could be used to monitor gas layer stability, potentially benefiting industrial and biomedical applications like pharmacology and cell technology.
