Advances in nanofabrication have shifted surface tension engineering from the realms of chemistry to nanomechanics. As CJ Kim told attendees at the Nano Korea 2016 plenaries, nanomechanical surface tension design has a huge role to play in a range of technologies from ink-jet printing and superhydrophobic surfaces, to drag reduction in boat design……
