Surprising Water-Repellent Results Without even thinking about it, people use surfaces and objects that repel water to different degrees all the time in their every-day lives, including cookware, ...

Scientists have devised a new mechanism enabling water droplets to effortlessly roll off surfaces. They dubbed it the "world's most water-repellent surface ever." This achievement challenges ...

The discovery challenges existing ideas about friction between solid surfaces and water and opens up a new avenue for studying droplet slipperiness at the molecular level. The new technique has ...

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

Lowering the Leidenfrost temperature In 1756, the German scientist Johann Leidenfrost described how water droplets levitate on their own vapour when placed on a hot solid surface. The vapour acts as a ...

If water-repellent F-POSS molecules are scraped from the surface, new molecules will naturally migrate there to replace them. That's how the coating can renew itself hundreds of times.
