  • Fouling of solid surfaces is a problem when designing microchannel systems for applications such as bioassays and drug delivery. Here Hou et al. propose a way to overcome this issue by controlling fluid flow by means of an immiscible functional liquid partly infiltrated in a porous solid matrix.

  • Trapped films of air known as plastrons are promising for underwater engineering but typically have short lifetimes. Here, aerophilic titanium alloy surfaces are developed with thermodynamically stabilized plastrons for antifouling applications.

  • Steel is employed ubiquitously throughout human society thanks to its outstanding mechanical properties, however over time degradation can lead to a loss in performance. Here, the authors show that creating liquid-infused surfaces via electrodeposition of a tungstite film endows steel with a durable coating which inhibits corrosion and fouling.

  • Upon submersion, a superhydrophobic surface can trap a layer of air, termed “plastron”, that separates it from the surrounding liquid. Here, methodology is reported for predicting the thermodynamic stability of plastron by measuring surface roughness, solid-liquid area fraction, and Young’s contact angle.
