Super Plastic Both Attracts and Repels Water. ‘An odd new material could be a boon in dry regions with limited access to clean water. A new, practical method for making surfaces with patterns of areas that strongly attract and strongly repel water could lead to a highly efficient method for capturing clean water. This versatile material could also find uses in fabricating new types of devices for medical tests and chemical synthesis.’
