The study of wave propagation at interfaces in various conditions, including deep and shallow water, has garnered significant interest over centuries. This work explores a class of capillary waves traveling on the plastron of underwater superhydrophobic surfaces, hence the name “plastronic waves”, with extraordinary fast propagation speed and applications for monitoring microscale gas layer stability.
