By combining high-speed visualization and infrared thermography, the team reveals how surface wetting properties govern droplet spreading, freezing onset, and heat-transfer pathways during rapid phase change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The findings provide new physical insight into droplet-surface interactions under supercooled conditions, with implications for <strong>aircraft icing mitigation<\/strong>, <strong>anti-icing coatings<\/strong>, and <strong>thermal-management applications<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congratulations to the team for their outstanding work and collaboration!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pubs.rsc.org\/en\/content\/articlelanding\/2025\/sm\/d5sm00761e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read the article on <em>Soft Matter<\/em> <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"741\" height=\"290\" src=\"https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/41.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/41.png 741w, https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/41-300x117.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 741px) 100vw, 741px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are pleased to announce the publication of our latest research article in Soft Matter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2374,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,5,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2372","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-highlight","category-publication","category-research"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Front-Cover_TIF2-scaled.jpg",2560,1893,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Front-Cover_TIF2-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Front-Cover_TIF2-300x222.jpg",300,222,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Front-Cover_TIF2-768x568.jpg",640,473,true],"large":["https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Front-Cover_TIF2-1024x757.jpg",640,473,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Front-Cover_TIF2-1536x1136.jpg",1536,1136,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Front-Cover_TIF2-2048x1515.jpg",2048,1515,true],"chromenews-featured":["https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Front-Cover_TIF2-1024x757.jpg",1024,757,true],"chromenews-large":["https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Front-Cover_TIF2-825x575.jpg",825,575,true],"chromenews-medium":["https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Front-Cover_TIF2-590x410.jpg",590,410,true]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/?cat=18\" rel=\"category\">Highlight<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/?cat=5\" rel=\"category\">Publication<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/?cat=6\" rel=\"category\">Research<\/a>","tag_info":"Research","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2372","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2372"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2372\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2375,"href":"https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2372\/revisions\/2375"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2372"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2372"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/liu-lab.ccny.cuny.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
