%X Ever since the discovery of dropwise condensation by Ernst Schmidt (1) in 1930, engineers have sought to use the phenomenon commercially. Early attempts gave discouraging results and the subject became rather dormant for several decades. However, recent studies with gold surfaces have revived the interest. Some of the new findings are presented in this review article.
