Turning bubbles on and off during boiling using charged surfactants

Boiling-a process that has powered industries since the steam age-is governed by bubble formation. State-of-the-art boiling surfaces often increase bubble nucleation via roughness and/or wettability modification to increase performance. However, without active in situ control of bubbles, temperature...
