«The reversible switching between absorbing - superhydrophilic / releasing - superhydrophobic states results from
structural changes of a temperature - responsive polymer grafted on the very rough fabric - surface.

Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) images
of Pd - Ni - P metallic glass at different
temperatures show the phase transition that involves
structural changes in atomic clusters.
This gives it high
structural flexibility in response to
changing temperature or pressure, which is the origin
of its unique behavior.
They utilized samples such as the one presented here to evaluate the chemical
changes as a function
of temperature and showed that a decrease in chemical linkages could be correlated with losses in
structural rigidity.

From a recent article in the LA Times about Big Oil's calculations, Mobil oil's engineers were calculating for climate warming sea - level rises in Canadian drilling sites in 1996: One year earlier, though, engineers at Mobil Oil were concerned enough about climate
change to design and build a collection
of exploration and production facilities along the Nova Scotia coast that made
structural allowances for rising
temperatures and sea levels.
With this kind
of fundamental non-robustness, the outcomes
of CBAs or IAMs are held hostage by core
structural uncertainties about how high
temperature change and high productive capacity should be combined to yield utility.
The internally imposed
structural changes to the climate system include the injection
of the non-condensing greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O, CFCs, etc), volcanic and anthropogenic aerosols, and episodic contact to the deep ocean cold
temperature reservoir (this is responsible for the «natural», «internally forced», or «unforced» variability
of the climate system).
