This stuff is fantastic!

Super-hydrophobic properties could lead to applications in solar panels, sanitation and as rust-free metals
Scientists at the University of Rochester have used lasers to transform metals into extremely water repellent, or super-hydrophobic, materials without the need for temporary coatings.
Super-hydrophobic materials are desirable for a number of applications such as rust prevention, anti-icing, or even in sanitation uses. However, as Rochesters Chunlei Guo explains, most current hydrophobic materials rely on chemical coatings.
