Wetting transition refers to a phenomenon in physics, particularly in the contexts of statistical mechanics, surface science, and liquid-gas interfaces. It describes a change in the behavior of a liquid when it interacts with a solid surface, essentially focusing on how a liquid droplet spreads (or wets) over that surface. In more detail: 1. **Wetting**: This occurs when a liquid comes into contact with a solid surface and spreads out to minimize its contact angle.
