Research Highlights

Reverse Engineering a Nanotechnology Toy:

Atomic Force Microscope image (right) of superhydrophobic surface of 'Nanodrop' toy, available at Thinkgeek.com. Droplets of water are placed on the superhydrophobic surface of a maze, forming liquid balls which can move freely without wetting the surface.
