The Surprising Glide of Ions Trapped on Solid Surfaces

In the wake of a drop of water sliding over a hydrophobic surface, the ionic charges trapped on the surface exhibit giant mobility!

This surprising observation, reported in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has been made by a team of researchers from the SIMM laboratory.
