Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have obtained the first glimpse of miniscule air bubbles that keep water from wetting a super non-stick surface. Detailed information about the size and shape of these bubbles - and the non-stick material the scientists created by 'pock-marking' a smooth material with cavities measuring mere billionths of a metre - is being published online today in the journal Nano Letters...
