Implication

Vacuum-deposited organic molecular films can generate giant surface potentials (GSPs) through spontaneous molecular orientation.

Abstract

Vacuum-deposited organic molecular films can generate giant surface potentials (GSPs) through spontaneous molecular orientation. Here we show that these GSPs can directly drive autonomous water droplet motion via dielectrophoretic forces,...
