A current YMF user, Joaquin Ramirez-Medina from Prof. Alidad Amirfazli's group, has successfully developed an electrowetting-based microelectrode platform that actively controls droplet motion and coalescence to sustain efficient dropwise condensation—an important challenge in air conditioning, dehumidification, and power generation systems. Using stepwise electrical activation of patterned electrodes, the platform enables droplets to merge rapidly and […]
