Topography-Driven Liquid Repellency in PFAS-Free Spherical-Particle Coating

Abstract The development of PFAS-free (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), liquid-repellent surfaces require a fundamental understanding of how surface geometry governs wetting-state stability. However, the independent role of interparticle spacing remains poorly understood bec...

Audiovisual interactions modulate visuocortical gain

How is vision shaped by other senses? Visual cortex is not merely a passive recipient of retinal inputs. It is also responsive to other sensory modalities, particularly audition. While auditory signals have been shown to penetrate early visual cortices, the mechanisms driving the...
