AbstractThe rebound of liquid droplets on solid surfaces exhibits behavior reminiscent of elastic spheres, albeit with distinct contact dynamics. While the rapid detachment of droplets from surfaces holds significant relevance for various applications, previous endeavors relying on engineered surfaces can only reduce the contact time to several milliseconds, primarily due to capillary effects dominating droplet bounce.
