About
Edward Bormashenko is a leading figure in soft matter physics, renowned for his pioneering work in wetting phenomena, superhydrophobicity, and the physics of self-propulsion. His research has fundamentally advanced our understanding of how liquids interact with complex surfaces, particularly through the development of the "Moses effect"—a mechanism that uses magnetic fields to remotely control the motion of floating diamagnetic objects. In his highly cited 2019 paper, Bormashenko demonstrated that a steady magnetic field of about 0.5 T could create a near-surface dip, enabling precise, contactless steering of a self-propelled rotator. This work, alongside his broader contributions to droplet dynamics and interfacial science, has garnered over 2,000 citations, cementing his influence in the field. A professor at Ariel University, Bormashenko is also the author of the seminal monograph *Wetting of Real Surfaces*, which has become a key resource for students and researchers. His innovative experiments continue to inspire new directions in microfluidics, surface engineering, and active matter, making him a vital voice in contemporary physics.
