Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Multifaceted design optimization for superomniphobic surfaces
In materials science, surfaces that strongly repel low surface tension liquids are classified 'superoleophobic," while high surface tension liquid repellants are 'superhydrophobic' and surfaces that display both characteristics are 'superomniphobic." Superomniphobic surfaces are at the frontiers of surface design for a vast array of applications. In a recent study, J. R. Panter and co-workers at t
Article Description
Air–water interfaces play an important role in the superhydrophobicity for the surface, which is always made of hydrophobic materials. In the present study, microstructures made of hydrophilic material with different topologies were fabricated on the sidewalls of a microchannel, and the detailed formation processes of air–water interfaces were captured by a microscope and a high-speed camera. The current study found that doubly reentrant structures, even made of wettable material, can capture and sustain the air–water interface. Considering Laplace equation and the geometry restrictions, critical pressure difference in the channel was estimated, and the influences of the structure parameters (the structure spacing and the reentrant angle) were investigated.
