University of Texas at Dallas researchers developed a new theory to explain heat transfer on advanced surfaces. From left are: Dr. Xianming (Simon) Dai, associate professor of mechanical engineering; ...

Aluminum coupon samples patterned with alternating stripes of smooth (lighter) and etched (darker) topographies display contrasting wettability. The research team developed a novel technique using ...

Conventional wet-chemistry methods used to create biocidal materials are complex, time-consuming, and expensive. Researchers present a tutorial in which they explore a promising alternative called ...

A team of engineers has developed a scalable technique for fabricating topography-patterned aluminum surfaces with enhanced liquid transport properties. These surfaces are critical for anti-icing ...

These issues often stem from material limitations, including poor ion transport, unstable electrode interfaces, and dendrite formation in metal-based anodes. Overcoming these barriers requires ...

When University of Texas at Dallas researchers tested a new surface that they designed to collect and remove condensates rapidly, the results surprised them. The mechanical engineers' design collected ...
