Cover in Advanced Materials journal

Our work, carried out in collaboration with colleagues from CNRS, ESPCI Paris–PSL University, and Sorbonne Université (Sorbonne Paris Cité), on water harvesting using laser-textured surfaces was selected as the cover article of Volume 37, Issue 18 of the prestigious journal Advanced Materials. This study demonstrates a 70% increase in collected dew water compared to a state-of-the-art reference material over a one-year outdoor study. This improvement arises from the synergy between the properties of the laser-micropatterned metallic surfaces and the specific requirements of radiative cooling–driven dew condensation applications, particularly in terms of emissivity and wettability.
