UR scientists develop hydrophobic metal

Two UR researchers have developed an entirely new method for waterproofing metal surfaces. Professor of Optics Chunlei Guo and senior scientist Anatoliy Vorobyev used high-powered, short-pulse laser treatments to create micro- and nanostructures that effectively repel water from the treated surfaces. This method involves using a laser with only a few millijoules of energy, distributed […]
