The boiling efficacy is intrinsically tethered to trade-offs between the desire for bubble nucleation and necessity of vapor removal. The solution to these competing demands requires the separation of bubble activity and liquid delivery, often achieved through surface engineering. In this study, we independently engineer bubble nucleation and departure mechanisms through the design of heterogeneous and segmented nanowires with dual wettability with the aim of pushing the limit of structure-enhanced boiling heat transfer performances.

- Condensation, a natural and industrial process, involves droplets forming, growing, and detaching from surfaces, requiring precise measurement for analysis.
- The text introduces a new framework that combines traditional imaging with deep learning to effectively capture and analyze data on droplets, achieving high resolutions in both space and time.
- The findings reveal that condensation efficiency is influenced by a balance between the heat transfer of individual droplets and their overall density, suggesting potential applications in various fields beyond thermal science.
