Abstract Wetting and capillary phenomena on the macroscale are ubiquitous and have been well understood.
However, the relevant physics and mechanics on the nano-scale still remain mysterious. In this talk, I would
like to discuss the exploration of capillarity from a nanoscopic perspective, including wetting, evaporation
and condensation. At the solid/liquid interface, the liquid exhibits a pronounced layered structure that
extends over several intermolecular distances from the solid surface. Our recent studies have shown that
such molecular detail could provide some new understanding on century-old classical theory in this field,
such as Young’s equation [1] and Kelvin equation [2]. More >
