Controlling the wetting and spreading of microdroplets is key to technologies such as microfluidics,ink-jet printing,and surface *** angle goniometry is commonly used to characterize surface wetting by droplets,but the technique is ill-suited for high contact angles close to 180°.Here,we attach a micrometric-sized droplet to an atomic force microscope cantilever to directly quantify droplet–solid friction on different surfaces(superhydrophobic and underwater superoleophobic)with sub-nanonewton force *** demonstrate the versatility of our approach by performing friction measurements using different liquids(water and oil droplets)and under different ambient environments(in air and underwater).Finally,we show that underwater superoleophobic surfaces can be qualitatively different from superhydrophobic surfaces:droplet–solid friction is highly sensitive to droplet speeds for the former but not for the latter surface.

Over the last few decades,the evolution of liver resection has progressed through numerous milestones in peri-operative management,operative techniques and novel technologies that have dramatically improved patient safety and outcomes(1).Consequently,such developments have enabled surgeons to embark on liver resections of lesions in technically challenging locations,whereby extended resection or bilovascular reconstruction may be required to ensure oncologic *** the context of extended resections or resection of lesions from heavily diseased livers,concerns remain regarding the adequacy of the remnant future liver remnant(FLR)and liver function,placing patients at risk of the clinical phenomenon known as post-hepatectomy liver failure(PHLF).Although relatively uncommon,PHLF has a reported incidence of up to 32%in the literature and remains an important cause of post-hepatectomy morbidity and mortality(2).Presently,several definitions have been proposed to describe PHLF,the most recent of which was proposed by the International Study Group of Liver Surgery(ISGLS).In this definition,PHLF was defined as an increased international normalized ratio(INR)or hyperbilirubinemia on or after post-operative day 5,with further stratification of severity grades(A,B or C)based on the extent of clinical management(3).While definitions in PHLF assist in providing a common diagnostic framework among physicians,establishing predictors in PHLF is conceivably more helpful as it allows surgeons to have important decision-making details prior to planned liver resection.

The growing demand for electric vehicles highlights the need for energy storage solutions with higher densities,spotlighting Li metal anodes as potential successors to traditional Li-ion batteries(LIBs).Achieving longer calendar aging life for Li metal anodes is crucial for their practical use,given their propensity for corrosion due to a low redox potential,which leads to compromised cycling stability and significant capacity loss during *** research investigated that this susceptibility is mainly dependent on the surface area of Li metal anode and the properties of the solid electrolyte interphase(SEI),particularly its stability and growth *** research adds to this understanding by demonstrating that the amount of Li plating is a key factor in its corrosion during open-circuit storage,as assessed across various *** discovered that increasing the Li plating amount effectively reduces Coulombic efficiency(C.E.)loss during aging,due to a lower surface area-to-Li *** implies that the choice of electrolyte for optimal storage life should consider the amount of Li plating,with higher capacities promoting better storage characteristics.
