Researchers of the department of Physics of Complex Fluids of the University of Twente's MESA+ institute have succeeded in increasing the effectivity of condensation through gravity-driven electrowetting. "We have been able to increase condensation by 50 percent, with room for further increase," the researchers say. Higher efficiency can be in particular interesting for heat transfer and fog harvesting – fetching water from the atmosphere.
