Reducing the contact time of impacting droplets on solid surfaces has become a research focus due to its promising application prospects in self-cleaning, anti-erosion, and anti-icing. In this study, the pancake bouncing of nanodroplets is investigated through molecular dynamics simulations, achievi...
