Making Super-Hydrophobic Materials Using LASERs

Research scientists at the University of Rochester in New York have created super-hydrophobic materials using lasers. Lasers?! That's cool in and of itself, but would you like to know what is most fascinating about these materials? The hydrophobic behavior doesn't wear off!

Hydrophobic materials have been a big research focus for physicists in recent years. These materials usually involve some sort of coating, which, inevitably, will wear off with time. Hydrophobic surfaces are usefull for many purposes, and you can imagine the new possibilities that will arise when this amazing property goes from temporary to innate...
