This is a link post Using Lasers to Create Super-hydrophobic Materials
This demonstration of superhydrophobic metal uses materials created in the lab of Chunlei Guo, professor of optics at the U of Rochester. The material is made by processing metal with high intensity lasers, creating micro and nano structures that render the surface highly water repellent.

This is a normal post Fascinating, the hydrophilic surface is pretty good too,for a metal.

This is a normal post Brilliant stuff.
If they can laser etch dogs to prevent mud and fox shit sticking to their fur, then Rochester is onto a sure-fire winner.

Edit: And helmet visors for motorcyclists.

Maybe they could laser etch cables to repel rabbits too.
