✦ Synopsis

Spreading to bouncing …

… is a typical wetting transition of water droplets on high-temperature surfaces with different wettabilities and roughnesses, as described by J. Wang, L. Jiang, and co-workers in their Communication on page 5311 ff. The spreading-bouncing transition occurs on hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and superhydrophilic surfaces when the surface temperature reaches the bouncing temperature, while the transition does not take place on superhydrophobic surfaces.
