Comment on Laser-generated surface structures create extremely water-repellent metalsComments−kendallpark11yI think this could have a great impact on water vessels.

This would be the next million-dollar suit.−contingencies11yMy thoughts exactly... maybe because I'm reading Sail Performance at the moment! Weight, durability and shapability would be important properties vs. the nominal reduction in drag, though.
