Blog The joy of seeing something new emerging is great – Q&A with Erika Eiser Erika Eiser is a Professor at NTNU’s Department of Physics and a Principal Investigator at PoreLab. Here she talks to science writer Kelly Oakes about her research plans, why she chose NTNU, and what Chinese Century eggs have got to do with soft matter physics. Blog Keeping cool during extreme heat To fix a cooling problem in for example electronic devices, we have experimented with a carpet of nano-wires. Guess what, it works. Blog Removing sticky droplets and making super repellent surfaces Super-repellent surfaces lose their repellent properties when condensation occurs, either under low temperatures or high humidity conditions. A new surface has been developed, combining pyramidal microstructures with a nano-sized roughness on top, that maintains its super-repellent properties at all conditions.
