Scientists have developed what they call the most water-repellent surface ever. By giving it a liquid-like coating that defies usual designs, water will roll off the surface at angles 500 times ...

Researchers have developed a new mechanism to make water droplets slip off surfaces, and describe it in a paper published in Nature Chemistry. The discovery challenges existing ideas about friction ...

A revised method to create hydrophobic surfaces has implications for any technology where water meets a solid surface, from optics and microfluidics to cooking. Researchers have developed a new ...

Superhydrophobic coatings that make water droplets bounce off, taking dust and debris with them, could lead to self-cleaning solar panels, windows, and cars. But these coatings are not durable, which ...
