2019年3月8日 · Collecting dew could provide people with clean, fresh water in areas where it is scarce. Under the right conditions, a one-meter-square surface can supply as much as half a liter of water per night. Researchers have tried to optimize dew collection by designing surfaces with special coatings or textures that make it easier for drops to roll ...

APS has selected 156 Outstanding Referees for 2024 who have demonstrated exceptional work in the assessment of manuscripts published in the Physical Review journals. A full list of the Outstanding Referees is available online.

The Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) Study was commissioned by the American Physical Society (APS) on November 20, 1983 to evaluate the status of the science and technology of DEW. A study group was formed by November 1984 with the goal of creating an unclassified report for the APS's membership and others with an interest in DEW.

2019年3月8日 · We report that submillimetric grooves substantially reduce dew retention by modifying the repartition of liquid: Because of a long-range coalescence mechanism mediated by grooves imbibition, the growth and shedding of large drops are accelerated.

2000年3月24日 · We consider phase separation in a nonequilibrium Bose gas with an attractive interaction between particles. Using numerical integrations on a lattice, we show that the system evolves into a state that contains drops of a Bose-Einstein condensate suspended in uncondensed gas.

We will discuss how these mechanisms depend on the rate of condensation, the plate inclination and the grooves dimensions, as well as the consequences for dew harvesting. To cite this abstract, use the following reference: http://meetings.aps.org/link/BAPS.2016.DFD.R25.5

Collecting rain water is simple, but harvesting dew is much challenging as it requires (i) cooling a surface below the dew point so that the vapor in the air condenses; (ii) tailoring the surface properties to promote water condensation and drainage.
