Advancements in surface engineering have enabled significant enhancement of boiling heat transfer. However, performance gains rarely transfer across conditions or geometries. Two challenges illustrate why: bubble nucleation behavior is poorly reproducible; and increasing nucleating density to raise the heat transfer coefficient typically lowers the system’s maximum achievable heat flux. This talk presents our efforts in addressing each challenge by identifying the governing mechanism and designing for it.<br>\r\nIn the first part, micro-engineered silicon surfaces isolate two governing length scales: the hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness, which controls nucleation stability through inter-site shielding, and the bubble departure diameter, which governs vapor removal after full activation. We experimentally show that nucleation stability responds to the former length scale (~0.24 mm); heat transfer in the activated regime responds to the latter length scale (~2.5 mm).<br>\r\nThe second study addresses the high-heat-flux limit, where large vapor structures block liquid return. Capillary wicking through copper inverse opals (~10 μm pores) supplies liquid beneath the vapor. Crucially, the pore cavities are themselves the nucleation sites, so wicking capacity and nucleation density derive from the same structure. Further, CuO nanograss on the pore walls suppresses vapor penetration into the porous layer, enabling thicker structures and greater capillary head. The result is simultaneous enhancement of heat transfer coefficients and maximum heat fluxes.<br>\r\nTogether, the two works show that mechanism-targeted surface design yields gains that empirical topography optimization does not. They point toward a broader design principle: that nucleation and interfacial transport, treated as controllable rather than given, offer a promising path to engineering phase change processes across applications.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acsami.9b20520?ref=pdf\">https://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acsami.9b20520?ref=pdf</a><br>\r\n<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-10209-w\">https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-10209-w </a><br>\r\n<br>\r\nBio: Zhengmao Lu is a Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at EPFL.

Solar and wind energy harvesting combined with chemical energy storage in batteries or fuels, such as hydrogen, are essential processes, that need to be improved in terms of efficiency, long-term stability, scalability and sustainability. Although significant progress has been made, many proposed photo- or electrochemical devices show satisfying short-term efficiencies in the laboratory but are too cost-intensive, too unstable and/or not sustainable enough for large-scale applications [1][2]. This is often the case, because they rely on rare materials and/or they are not fabricated using scalable processes. From a material science point of view, key areas to improve dynamic processes include, of course, the bulk properties of the active materials themselves, as well as the interfaces between the active materials and the electrolyte [3]. <br>\r\nIn this contribution concepts are presented how to improve the function of active materials in photo- or electrochemical energy applications by materials and interface design while respecting sustainability criteria. Our strategies include morphology control by scalable synthesis procedures and chemical modifications using earth-abundant and sustainable additives. These approaches are showcased in two application areas: photocatalysis for solar water-splitting and post-lithium-ion batteries. In both cases vanadium-based chemistries and low energy hydrothermal synthesis processes are used to produce devices with improved function [4,5].<br>\r\n[1] A. Vilanova, P. Dias, T. Lopes and A.

Historically, research has primarily focused on predicting the onset of buckling—that is, the loss of the original configuration under excessive loading—rather than on understanding how structures evolve in the post-buckling regime. Recently, however, the study of buckling has experienced a renaissance, with post-buckling mechanical responses increasingly exploited to achieve new functionalities, for example enhancing fracture resistance in stretchable electronics and flexible displays.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nWhile most existing studies consider elastically deforming systems whose behaviour arises primarily from geometric nonlinearities, this talk presents examples in which geometric effects are coupled with nonlinear constitutive responses, giving rise to new post-buckling mechanisms. First, we investigate the buckling of hard, perforated (“holey”) structures that exhibit auxetic behaviour but, unlike their purely elastic counterparts, undergo post-buckling softening. The resulting negative stiffness is captured using a pseudo-plastic constitutive model that describes nonlinearities emerging from the structural microarchitecture.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nWe then apply a similar framework to examine the buckling of beverage cans largely filled with liquid under axial compression. Whereas empty cylindrical shells typically develop periodic buckling patterns that break both axial and circumferential symmetry, liquid-filled cylinders buckle axisymmetrically. The resulting ring-shaped buckles are localized and emerge sequentially, progressively covering the can surface. We show that this behaviour arises from nonlinear, spatially anisotropic hoop stresses that soften and subsequently re-stiffen during compression.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography: </strong>Draga Pihler-Puzovic is a Reader in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester and a core member of the Manchester Centre for Nonlinear Dynamics.
