New chemistry and microsurfaces have led to super oil-repellent materials that are self-cleaning Researchers have made materials that repel oil and are able to clean themselves without the help of soap and water. What's more, the researchers describe exactly how the materials work, which could help others design similar materials. This could lead to a range of applications, including fingerprint-shedding cell-phone displays.
