Bill,

I only know this work done at Laser Zentrum Hannover (Germany), see "surface
modification":

It seems to be a kind of lotus effect by controlling the contact area between
solid and liquid.

No ideas on the laser treatment.  I do not see how it could work unless they are
talking laser in combination with a silane to reconstruct the surface layer.
What are you trying to do?  If there is a commercial use at the end of the
tunnel we could do some free samples for you.
