  The thin film applied to a metal-oxide (similar to previous ORNL research in high temperature superconductors) showing the Moses effect.

  

• slideshow/photos/contact_angle.jpg

  This highlights the surface contact angle of >170 degrees, the roll off angle is <10 degrees.

  

• slideshow/photos/self_cleaning.jpg

  This shows the self cleaning properties of only a few drops of water near the bottom-center of the sample after prolonged abrasion by aluminum oxide powder which has left the surface dusty.

  This shows a water droplet resting on a durable superhydrophobic glass thin film.
