Biofouling is a global issue that affects almost all water-based processes across various industries and significantly impacts our daily lives. Conventional biofouling treatments, such as toxic paints or antibiotics, have substantial limitations and challenges. These include the emergence of resista... 

Aerophilic surfaces immersed underwater trap films of air known asplastron. Plastron has typically been considered impractical forunderwater engineering applications due to their metastable performance.Here, we describe aerophilic titanium alloy (Ti) surfaces with extendedplastron lifetimes that are...
