Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a magneto-seismic exploration of a subsurface region. An electromagnetic source may transmit time-varying electromagnetic field into the subsurface region, in the presence of a static or time-varying magnetic field, such that a component of the electric field associated with the time-varying electromagnetic field is substantially parallel to an interface between two subsurface formations in the subsurface region, wherein the electric field interacts with the static or time-varying magnetic field and creates a Lorentz force in each of the subsurface formations. One or more seismic receivers may detect a seismic signal generated by a Lorentz force change at the interface between the two subsurface formations. A computer system may be programmed to process and present the detected seismic signal.

Abstract: Described herein is an integrated approach towards design of surfaces for stable wettability regimes with various liquids. The approach comprises a designing component used to calculate stable thermodynamic configurations associated with different wettability states, and an experimental component that allows for manufacturing of different surfaces with re-entrant texture features as calculated by the modeling approach.

Abstract: Described herein are methods of manipulating/tailoring wettability of liquids on physically/chemically modified surfaces under multiphase conditions (i.e. >1 liquid contacting surface). In particular, methods of modifying or tuning the wettability of a surface in multiphase conditions could decelerate corrosion, modify drag in a pipe, and/or enable separation of a two-phase liquid system.
