CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 25 -- Massachusetts Institute of Technology issued the following news release:
Wettability -- the degree to which a liquid either spreads out over a surface or forms into droplets -- is crucial to a wide variety of processes. It influences, for example, how easily a car's windshield fogs up, and also affects the functioning of advanced batteries and fuel-cell systems.
Until now, the only way to quantify this important characteristic of a mate . . .
