Most Water-Repellent Surface Ever Created Challenges Existing Ideas on Friction
The most water-repellant surface ever was just created by researchers at the molecular level, challenging existing ideas on friction.
A team of researchers says they have created the most water-repellent surface ever, challenging existing ideas about how friction works. Known as a self-assembled monolayer (SAM), the ingenious new surface, which is assembled at the molecular level, has the potential to impact hundreds of commercial and industrial applications, including de-icing techniques, maritime technologies, space exploration, and even ultra-slippery cookware.

aaaaaaaaand it causes cancers and forever chemicals
definitely sounds like something that could give us a good poisoning. the fact it rubs off so easily doesn't bode well.
Well, at least they used silane instead of PFAS.
