A. N. Frumkin used surface charge to change the shape of water drops in 1936. [2] The term electrowetting was first introduced in 1981 by G. Beni and S. Hackwood to describe an effect proposed for designing a new type of display device for which they received a patent. [3]
Google Maps' location tracking is regarded by some as a threat to users' privacy, with Dylan Tweney of VentureBeat writing in August 2014 that "Google is probably logging your location, step by step, via Google Maps", and linked users to Google's location history map, which "lets you see the path you've traced for any given day that your ...

Optoelectrowetting (OEW) is a method of liquid droplet manipulation used in microfluidics applications. This technique builds on the principle of electrowetting, which has proven useful in liquid actuation due to fast switching response times and low power consumption.

COWI offers the charged service Danmarks Digitale Gadefoto (DDG), which sees yearly updates of full coverage panoramas including the Faeroese Islands. [23]
The water drops maintain their spherical shape due to the superhydrophobicity of the petal (contact angle of about 152.4°), but do not roll off because the petal surface has a high adhesive force with water. [41] When comparing the "petal effect" to the "lotus effect", it is important to note some striking differences. The surface structure of ...
